Elouise Brown to Visit California on 11-Day Tour, Starting March 17
Click poster to enlarge.
For over three years, the community of Chaco Rio, New Mexico, in the Diné (Navajo) Nation, has been blockading entry to the site of a proposed 1,500 megawatt coal-fired power plant. Desert Rock, a project of Sithe Global and the Diné Power Authority, would be the third coal plant within a 20-mile radius in a region already suffering from extreme levels of toxic emissions.
Elouise Brown, a Diné (Navajo) traditionalist and president of the Dooda
Desert Rock committee, will embark on an 11-day speaking tour of
California to speak about dangers posed by the coal industry, the
exploitation of indigenous land by energy companies, and the ongoing
struggle to prevent the Desert Rock plant from ever existing. Her
presentation will include three short films.
The tour will visit Fresno, Modesto, Stockton, Sacramento, San Francisco,
Richmond, Berkeley, Oakland, Santa Cruz, Aptos, Watsonville, Santa
Barbara, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Funds raised at these events will
support future organizing, maintenance of the Desert Rock resistance camp,
and an upcoming trip to Bolivia for the World Climate Change Conference.
