Action and prayers for Oak Flat
Action and prayers for Oak Flat

Apache Stronghold and the Coalition to Dismantle the Doctrine of Discovery invite you to take action now to protect lands threated by an international mining company’s plans for a copper mine on Apache sacred land at Oak Flat (photo) in Arizona. Resolution Copper’s mining plan for Oak Flat relies on access to Arizona state trust land at Skunk Camp in Dripping Springs Valley to dump toxic tailings. This puts Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs in a position to stop it. The land at Skunk Camp is important in its own right, as sacred land to the Tohono O’odham Nation, in the Gila River watershed. Resolution Copper’s plan puts Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs in a position to stop the mine.

Please pray for Oak Flat, and reach out to Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs.

We are at a critical time in the fight to protect the sacred at Oak Flat.
