DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn about the grassroots effort to save the area traditionally 
 known as Juristac--an incredibly important ceremonial site for the Amah 
 Mutsun Tribal Band.  The land is threatened by a proposed quarry, which 
 would cover 320 acres, level entire hillsides, and remove 40 million tons 
 of sand and gravel.  \n\nRespect Human Rights: Juristac contains ancient 
 village sites, ceremonial sites, and burial grounds.  No amount of 
 mitigation can ensure the preservation of cultural resources.  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\nProtect the 
 Natural Environment:  Juristac is home to endangered and threatened 
 species.  It is an important wildlife corridor, connecting the unique 
 habitats of the Santa Cruz, Gabilan, and Diablo mountain rages.  It 
 occupies the extremely sensitive watershed of the Pajaro River.  And its 
 water table is prone to saltwater intrusion.\n\nThousands of other 
 Indigenous cultural sites in Santa Clara County have already been destroyed 
 by urban sprawl, extractive industry, and agriculture. Indeed, 
 hydraulic-injection oil production and other development has already 
 impacted areas near the proposed quarry.  It's up to each of us to ensure 
 that this pattern of cultural and ecological destruction stops.  In many 
 respects, this is the equivalent to the Dakota Access Pipeline in our own 
 backyard.\n\nThe meeting will include a multimedia presentation.  
 Coordinating efforts will also be discussed, including: outreach to 
 existing organizations, signature gathering, and otherwise ensuring that 
 government officials listen to their constituents.  Long-term prospects for 
 Indigenous Solidarity in the South Bay will also be discussed--Juristac is 
 unique, but the type of issue it represents is not!\n
