Black Mesa benefit events - support indigenous resistance!
FILM SCREENING as a benefit for Black Mesa families resisting relocation
Saturday, March 10th @ 7:00pm
At the Resource Center for Nonviolence - 515 Broadway, Santa Cruz (by the intersection of Ocean and Broadway).
The film “Broken Rainbow” is an Academy Award winning documentary on the struggle of the Dineh (Navajo) people at Black Mesa, Arizona, who have been cast aside to make room for the environmentally devastating practice of mining coal, oil, uranium, and natural gas. The Dineh and their supporters have been battling with Peabody Coal, the BIA, and state/local governments for over 30 years to stop a forced relocation from their homeland and the continuation/ expansion of mining operations.
The screening will be followed by a brief period of question/answer and discussion.
Black Mesa benefit concert:
Wednesday, March 14th, from 9pm-1am at 418 Front St.
with Naomi, New Thrill Parade, Sourgrass, Ghost Tree and a possible special performance by Diane Patterson.
ALL donated funds from these events will be used for the purchase of food, medicine, and other essential supplies for Dineh resisters’ on an upcoming supply and support run from Santa Cruz.

Since the beginning of the Big Mountain resistance elders would say: “We are resisting relocation and the coal mining not only for ourselves but for the whole world. Black Mesa must not be desecrated because of its sacredness --it provides life to all living things including all the human races.”
