About us
Who we are
Coal Action Network is a not-for-profit campaigning organisation which seeks to end the UK’s use and support of coal, as well as supporting related campaigns against fossil fuels.
We have made significant contributions to stopping new UK open cast coal mining, raising the profile of metallurgical coal mining such as the West Cumbria Mine, and playing a key role in the international network of insurance campaigns. Currently we are engaging in tactics that range from street-based creative action, to online mass mobilisations, legal challenges and corporate engagement, and strengthening networks. We always centre front line communities directly affected by coal and fossil fuel extraction and practice on-the-ground solidarity as well as platforming stories and voices.
CAN currently consists of a five-person team of part-time campaigners who jointly run the operational duties of the organisation under a flat pay and non hierarchical decision-making structure.
