After a weekend packed with public boat tours, and a candlelight vigil at the Sutton Coal Plant, the enormous vessel, the Arctic Sunrise departed from the banks of the Cape Fear River today to launch a Coal Free Future tour up the East Coast. The ship will make stops in Philadelphia, New York, Bridgeport, Connecticut and Boston throughout the month of February. The tour will bring communities together to share strategies and to energize local campaigns against coal fired power plants. .
