LA COALICION BINACIONAL CONTRA TIRADEROS TOXICOS Y RADIOACTIVOS
(Binational coalition against Toxic and Radioactive Dumps)
Manifests (Declares)
Our support and solidarity to our brothers and sisters of the five tribes of
the Colorado River: Fort Mojave, Colorado River, Chemehuevi, Quechan and
Cocopah of California, Nevada and Arizona in the fight for the defense of
the sovereignty of their Indigenous nations and against the threat of the
establishment on the part of the government of the USA, a nuclear cemetery
in the sacred land of Ward Valley, California, which is an affront to the
dignity, life, customs, and cultural and religious values of these nations.
The Binational Coalition Against Toxic and Nuclear Dumps will take part in
the fight for the defense of Ward Valley, the water, and the life of all its
inhabitants.
IN OPPOSITION TO (WE OPPOSE)
Environmental Racism, the deterioration of the earth and water of our
children, the violation of sovereignty and rights of indigenous communities,
the degradation of the flora and fauna in the American continent.
For the love, health and life of our children,

On February 20, 21, & 22 Elders and representatives of the Colorado River
Native Nations Alliance, Ward Valley Coalition and others will travel to
Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua at the invitation of the Mexican groups and
officials who are joining the fight to protect Ward Valley and the Colorado
River from the proposed dump.
Three days of meetings, friendship and cultural exchange events, press
conferences, forums, luncheons, and dinners are planned. The highlight of
the event will be a cultural gathering in front of the U.S. Consulate in
Ciudad Juarez, Mexico on Friday, January 22 at 11:00am MST. Traditional
songs and dance ("Danzas y Cantos de Unidad: Dances and Songs of Unity")
performed by indigenous groups from both sides of the border will
demonstrate the unity of the people of Mexico and the U.S. against toxic and
radioactive threats.
This will be an historic event and we are all so very excited about being a
part of this new step in working together. We are hopeful that these new
relationships we are forming will be long-lasting and effective ones.
TOGETHER WE CAN DO INCREDIBLE THINGS!!
