DESCRIPTION:Join us for an relatively-informal outreach meeting to learn about the 
 grassroots effort to prevent Juristac (the most sacred ceremonial site of 
 the Amah Mutsun 'Ohlone' People) from being turned into a massive sand and 
 gravel quarry!\n\nAside from being a sacred site (containing villages, 
 cultural sites, burial grounds, etc.), the area is also an important 
 wildlife corridor and home to endangered and threatened species.\n\nThe 
 proposed quarry would cover 320 acres, level entire hillsides, and remove 
 40 million tons of soil.  No amount of mitigation can ensure the 
 preservation of cultural sites.  And, in Amah Mutsun tradition, there will 
 be no way to repair the spiritual damage done to this sacred site--a site 
 which should be treated with the same respect as other important pilgrimage 
 sites around the world.\n\nOther areas of Juristac have already been 
 defiled by hydraulic-injection oil production.  But the area of the 
 proposed quarry is relatively pristine, minimally impacted by cattle 
 grazing for 200 years.\n\nThousands of other Indigenous cultural sites in 
 Santa Clara County have already been destroyed by urban sprawl, extractive 
 industry, and agriculture.  Don't let the same thing happen to this 
 incredibly important site!\n\nAt the meeting we will discuss the history of 
 this issue and how individuals can help stop this quarry.  Signature 
 gathering, writing the County Board of Supervisors, spreading the word, and 
 volunteering are all options (and the first three are very easy!).  Even 
 grabbing a signature form and getting a handful of family or friends to 
 sign would mean a great deal!  It is up to the Board of Supervisors to 
 ultimately approve or deny the quarry application.\n\nThis particular 
 meeting is the first we have held at a food venue, and will likely not have 
 as formal a structure.  Stop by anytime between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM.  Grab 
 some pizza (sorry, we aren't providing the food) and spend some time 
 getting to know this issue (and the fine, friendly folks already working on 
 it).\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2019/06/24/18824217.php
