Students United Against Extractive Industries, which includes students from Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore, Temple and Penn, met at the PNC Bank at 40th and Walnut streets to protest PNC’s financing of mountaintop removal coal mining. Earth Quaker Action Team, a group of Quaker Friends, brought the issue to students’ attention last year. The event was the student groups’ first public collaborative action raising awareness for the cause.
