For us, warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another's life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who can not provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity." ---Sitting Bull
INTERNATIONAL DINE ACTIVIST ELOUISE BROWN OF DOODA (NO) DESERT ROCK MAKES WHIRLWIND CALIFORNIA SPEAKING TOUR
SAN FRANCISCO,CA- Internationally known environmental Native Advocate and Activist Elouise Brown made a brillant, whirlwind speaking engagement in San Francisco, Richmond and Berkeley this past weekend of March 20th and 21st
On December 12th, 2006 community members in Chaco Rio, New Mexico established a blockade to prevent preliminary work for proposed development of a massive coal-fired power plant.
Sithe Global & Diné Power Authority (DPA) are attempting to build the “Desert Rock” power plant , a 1,500 megawatt coal-fired plant in the Four Corners area on the Navajo Reservation. This is an area already polluted by 2 other major coal power plants ( Four Corners and San Juan power plants ).
Doodá (NO!) Desert Rock (DDR) embodies a spirit of resistance and action to prevent construction of the Desert Rock Energy Project.
DDR depends on grassroots member support to shield the people of the Four Corners from the increased deadly health impacts that would be unleashed by poisons from a third massive coal fired power plant.
Transnational corporations serviced by government officials have denied environmental justice in an effort to destroy our Diné (Navajo) homeland. This abuse must STOP!
Elouise Brown of Dooda Desert Rock will be visiting communities throughout California on an 11-day speaking and fundraising tour. The current tour schedule is posted below. It will be kept updated, as more events are confirmed.
