Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsAnyone interested in an Appalachian Group?
If anyone here is interested in an Appalachian group please post. The group would focus on issues such as economics/poverty, mining & the environment, labor, democratic activism. And of course, subjects such as Appalachian music, writing, history, etc.

So please count me in.
