U.S (NATIVE ORGANIZERS ALLIANCE ACTION FUND) : OAK FLAT VICTORY...for now.

 

 

 

 

 

Friend, 

 

Thanks to your advocacy and the leadership of the San Carlos Apache and Apache Stronghold, and our grassroots push with allies, we fought hard and secured more time to protect Oak Flat, a sacred site to the San Carlos Apache Tribe in Arizona.

Despite failing to consult with the San Carlos Apache Nation and the Apache Stronghold, the Biden administration was considering issuing its Final Environmental Impact Survey, which would have triggered a land transfer that included Oak Flat, to a mining company. The corporation has a terrible track record of violating human rights, devastating ecosystems and destroying Indigenous sacred places, and its planned copper mine would have completely destroyed Oak Flat.

So we sent thousands of messages to the Biden administration and Congress, and we were heard. The timeline has been delayed.

Thank you !

Let’s keep up the fight to protect Oak Flat for future generations ! We must permanently protect this sacred place by continuing to push Congress to pass Rep. Raúl Grijalva’s Save Oak Flat from Foreign Mining Act.

Please donate today so we can protect this sacred place permanently, while continuing the fight to defend Native sovereignty and our constitutional right to practice our beliefs.
