Welcome to the CMI website. The links above contain information on many of the projects and activities that CMI is involved with. Our Fairness pages document our work with the Kentucky Fairness Alliance and the Equality Begins at Home campaign. Mining shows some of the work that folks from across Central Appalachia are doing to protect their homes and water from mining abuses. Forestry covers some of the issues involved with logging on public and private land. If you want to hear and see some of the people who are dealing with welfare reform check out Health & Welfare. Youth activism is a crucial part of organizing in the mountains and we've got some real leaders to show you. The prison economy is becoming a real factor in the mountains--in ways you might not expect. Media/Art/Activism shows how these things can be combined to create positive change.
