Today at 1:00 p.m. PDT I will join with local indigenous people of the Amah Mutsun band and their allies to walk ~ five miles from the San Juan Bautista Mission to Juristac in the hills north of town to demonstrate against a proposed sand and gravel mine on Amah Mutsun's sacred ceremonial land.
I will not post any pictures from the walk in deference to and out of respect for the wishes of the tribal leaders. I ask for your prayers and support for the safety and success of this peaceful demonstration.
You can watch and listen to Tribal Chairman Valentin Lopez address the United Nations here.
For more information, see the Protect Juristac web site. Please consider signing the petition to the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors to stop the quarry from forever scarring this important and sacred land.
Peace, Love, and Responsibility,
Jim
