Launch international campaign “Mining in Paradise? No-go zones for mining”, Ghent (Belgium). www.mininginparadise.org
In northern Peru, 3 years ago, thousands of peasants rejected the mining project Río Blanco. Between forests and páramos, they want a future for their organic and export agriculture. Social movements and communities from 4 provinces demand the creation of 'no-go zones' for mining. You can support them.
Dear friend,
We would like to invite you on Thursday, September 16 to join us when we launch the international campaign "Mining in Paradise? No-go zones for mining", an organization of CATAPA and several Peruvian organizations. On the day of the launch numerous activities are held to support the campaign and the demand of the Peruvian farmers to declare their land "no-go zones for mining".
We start at 15:00 with an action on ‘Sint-Pietersplein’, afterwards (from 16:30) we move our actions to ‘het Zuid’, Woodrow Wilsonplein. From 21:00 we get together in El Negocito (Brabantdamstraat 121), where the film of the campaign will be presented. Afterwards you can enjoy a performance by Ernesto Bórguez (Chile) and taste some refreshing cocktails that fit in the campaign theme.
During the afternoon and evening you can sign the e-petition "no-go zones for mining" and let us take your photo to support the campaign. We hope you can be present!
Finally do not hesitate to inform as many people as possible of our campaign. You can send them this e-mail, tell them about the website (www.mininginparadise.org) and ask them to join our Facebook and/or Twitter Group. And, off course, to sign the petition!
We hope to see you on September 16.
PS: In case of heavy rain, the action will continue from 16:00 in El Negocito.
