The Blue Planet Project is working with allies including The Council of Canadians, KAIROS, Mining Watch Canada, Breaking the Silence Maritimes and the United Church to raise awareness about community resistance to Canadian mining in communities across the country.
Community activists from El Salvador will be on a North American speaking tour in March and April dubbed “Water is More Precious than Gold” to share stories from the frontlines about the ecologically and socially devastating impacts of metal mining in the region, the heroic efforts to have metal mining banned in the country and the ways in which the mining industry is bullying their way into Latin American communities.
Attend a public event in your community and join the campaign to defend water against mega mining in El Salvador.
Event details are available at: http://www.blueplanetproject.net/index.php/water-is-more-precious-than-gold-speaking-tour-coming-to-a-community-near-you/
