DESCRIPTION:Monday, November 17th\n7:30pm at the newly opened SubRosa Infoshop: \n703 
 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz. (next to the Bike Church)\n\nA benefit event for 
 Dineh (Navajo) families at Black Mesa who are resisting forced relocation 
 from their ancestral homeland and the continuation/expansion of devastating 
 mining operations by Peabody Coal. BROKEN RAINBOW is an Academy Award 
 winning documentary that tells the story of this genocidal, industry-led 
 displacement of over 14,000 Dineh.\n\nIn the 34 years since the Relocation 
 Act was passed, Dineh at Black Mesa have steadfastly refused to leave their 
 homeland, carrying on with their traditional ways. The remaining families 
 face harassment from government officials and the steady degradation of 
 their lands from massive strip mining operations. \n\nThe relocation 
 continues, as does the Dineh struggle for survival. Support is urgently 
 requested.\n\nLocal supporters will give an update on recent developments 
 in the struggle at Black Mesa and answer questions as they’re 
 able.\n\nAdmission will be $5 (or more) at the door. Attendees are 
 encouraged to bring donations of supplies (food, tools, first aid kits, 
 clothes, etc - see list below). Donated supplies will be driven out to 
 Black Mesa next week by supporters from Santa Cruz.\n\nA Santa Cruz 
 contingent will be joining this year's Black Mesa Caravan. Work crews from 
 across the US will be traveling to Black Mesa, to deliver supplies and 
 assist with on-land projects.\n\nFOR MORE INFORMATION, see these
