Maggie Fry of Huntington, W.Va., shouts with other protesters in front of the Environmental Protection Agency in Washington during a demonstration Monday calling for the end of mountaintop removal for mining. The mostly youthful ralliers started Monday's protest at Freedom Plaza, and later marched to the White House. They carried signs like "Blowing Up Mountains for Coal Poisons People" and "Mountain ecosystems won't grow back." About 100 people were arrested.
