Join The Caravan of Support To Big Mountain Resistance Communities of
Black Mesa, AZ. November 22-29, 2008!
Greetings from Black Mesa Indigenous Support,
We are excited to inform you that we are currently putting together
efforts to bring a caravan of work crews that will be converging from
across the country to support residents of the Big Mountain regions
of Black Mesa who, on behalf of their peoples, their sacred ancestral
lands, and future generations, continue to carry out their staunch
resistance to the efforts of the US Government, which is acting in
the interests of the Peabody Coal Company to devastate whole
communities & ecosystems, and greatly de-stabilize our planet’s
climate for the profit of an elite few.
At this moment the decision makers in Washington D.C. are planning
ways to expand their occupation of tribal lands to extract mineral &
other resources. The coal companies have a long history of and
continue to fund both the Republican and Democratic parties because
they have huge interests at stake. Peabody Coal, the world’s largest
coal company, is currently pushing through plans to massively expand
dirty coal strip-mining operations which has destroyed land and water
aquifers, completely dug up burials, sacred areas, and shrines
designated specifically for offerings, preventing religious practices.
