Black Warrior River Keeper hosted a protest on UAB’s Campus today against the Shepard bend mine on the Mulberry Fork of the Black Warrior river. Specifically they protested against the UA (UA,UAB, UAH) system selling land to the project that would greatly expand the mine and potential waste water being dumped into the river which is a direct source for birmingham drinking water and our recreation.
The protest went on in front of the Alys Stephens Center for the Arts. We are happy
to support Black Warrior River Keeper in their efforts to stop this project from moving forward.
