April 5, 2021, kicks off a week of activities directed toward Rio Tinto, the world’s second largest mining company for their abuses of communities and the environment around the world.
The Arizona Mining Reform Coalition is joining NGOs from Australia, Madagascar, Mongolia, Netherlands, Serbia, the UK, and the USA, in virtual activities coordinated by the London Mining Network.
Join us and folks around the world to tell Rio Tinto to clean up their act and here in Arizona, to leave Oak Flat alone.
Check this page often for actions you can take this week here in the US.
Each day the campaign focuses on a key theme and asks you to take action and to share content far and wide.
Today is an international call to action to blockade communications for Rio Tinto. Please take action today via email and social media and spread the word widely!
You can act locally by asking your member of Congress to cosponsor the Save Oak Flat Act.
And, you can act internationally by emailing or Tweeting Rio Tinto directly.
To send an email to Rio Tinto’s Board of Directors and chief executives, go to the London Mining Network’s Action Page.
To send Rio Tinto a tweet, go to the Rio Tinto: Stop Plundering the Planet page.
Our website gives you plenty of information about our fight to protect Oak Flat, but for more information about other struggles around the world against Rio Tinto, go here.
