gives voice to salvadoran anti-mining movement
It really is about people vs. profits…

After rural communities in El Salvador effectively mobilized to prevent gold mining (one of the most toxic mining processes) in the state of Cabañas, the ousted North American mining companies – Pacific Rim and Commerce Group – retaliated with over $200 million in lawsuits against El Salvador, using the investor "protections" of the U.S.-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR).


The national anti-mining movement is pushing to protect their water, lands and communities once and for all with a national ban on metallic mining – the first in the world!  El Salvador needs our solidarity now as the government battles these outrageous lawsuits. Come & learn how you can join this struggle!

Join us for a special event with a leader of the successful Salvadoran grassroots movement against mining!  Part 3 in our series: The Race to the Bottom in Central America.

Featured speaker: Orlando Velasco from the National Roundtable Against Metallic Mining in El Salvador

Special Guests: Lolo Rivas and his beautiful Salvadoran music
plus March 4th and his conscious hip hop stylings

Thursday, October 21st- 7:00pm- 9:00pm
Urban Grind Coffee House 2214 NE Oregon St.

To prevent human rights abuses of environmental defenders in El Salvador.
