Protect Sacred Sites: Stop Toxic Dumping on O’odham Lands

On March 29, 2008 Traditional O’odham leaders and International Supporters arrived in the small village of Quitovac in the Northern Sonoran State of Mexico to honor the land, the sky, the water, and all life, and to continue organizing to stop the building of a toxic waste dump that’s planned to be placed just a few miles from one of the most sacred ceremony sites of the O’odham.

For over 2 years, O’odham and their supporters have been trying to shut down the plans to build this dump. Now we have an opening and an opportunity to finally stop the planned dump permanently.

We are asking everyone to sign our petition Protect Sacred Sites: Stop Toxic Dumping on O’odham Lands.

We are also asking everyone to write letters to the “officials” listed on the Green Action Website.

In the past, we have won concrete victories using these basis tactics. Lets hope that this time, once again, nothing more is needed!
