URGENT! ****HELP
SAVE A SACRED SITE AND NATIONAL MONUMENT ****
Dear Colleagues, Allies and Friends,
We need your help. For fifteen years, we have been trying to stop a
proposed commuter highway from cutting through Petroglyph National
Monument, a Native American sacred site still in use for religious
practice. It is a federally-recognized National Monument and contains
ancient petroglyphs dating back 3,000 years.
Albuquerque's Mayor, Martin Chavez, is attempting to desecrate this
sacred area by building a commuter highway through this area. He is
seeking funding for this road through Albuquerque’s Street Bond
election this October 28, in three short weeks.
We have an aggressive campaign to stop this bond, but we need your
help.
Our opponents – the real estate development industry – have raised
$150,000 to fight our campaign.
We need to raise $100,000 by OCTOBER 16 to put our television
ad on air. We are counting on you to be one of 4,000 people across the
country who can donate at least $25 for this critical fight to protect
a sacred area.
Please, make a donation today - visit our website at
www.stoptaxwaste.com and contribute $$25, $50, $100 or $250 to
help our campaign. We just need 4,000 supporters at $25 each to reach
our goal. For more information, you can go to www.sagecouncil.org to
find out more about the Petroglyph struggle.
Thank you for your immediate action - we need your help to save this
sacred area from real estate interests.
Sincerely,
Winona LaDuke, Native American activist, White Earth Land Recovery
