From Below, a dynamic initiative launched by the West Virginia Faith Collective, began as an immersive experience bringing people of faith into Southern West Virginia’s coalfields. It has since evolved into a powerful coalition advocating for clean water, food justice, and community healing in places like Gary, Leckie, and Anawalt.
Through grassroots organizing, mutual aid, education, and advocacy, From Below supports impacted residents and fuels local-led efforts for sustainable change in the heart of Appalachia.
