 the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band and Green Foothills to learn how we can protect 
 sacred landscapes and critical wildlife habitat from industrial 
 development.\n\nIn Santa Clara County southwest of Gilroy, the most sacred 
 site of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band is currently threatened by a proposed 
 317-acre sand and gravel mining operation. Juristac, otherwise known as 
 Sargent Ranch, is the cultural and spiritual center of \nAmah Mutsun 
 territory and also serves as an essential migration corridor for mountain 
 lions, badgers, and other wildlife.\n\nIn Northern CA, the Pit River Tribe 
 has led a successful decades-long fight—alongside other allied tribes and 
 environmental organizations—to protect the sacred Medicine Lake Highlands 
 from proposed geothermal industrial development. This landmark struggle to 
 prevent the desecration of sacred land provides inspiration for the 
 movement to protect Juristac and related efforts around the world.\n\nThe 
 County of Santa Clara will be releasing an EIR for the proposed Sargent 
 Ranch mining operation later this year, and members of the public will have 
 the opportunity to make our voices heard. Join us at this online event to 
 get your questions answered!\n\nSpeakers:\nValentin Lopez, Chair, Amah
