NGO’s informed this week that the formation of the Human SOS
against Open Mining will be scheduled for January 18th 2015 in El Tule Beach on
the Tourist Corridor in Los Cabos.
The Human SOS was to be formed last September, but it got
postponed due to hurricane Odile.
Armando Sanchez, president of the S.O.S Association, Blanca
Pedrín president of the San José del Cabo Historic Center Association and
Adriana Lopez from the Association of Family Parents are rallying the community
for support.
Participants are asked to be on the Tourist Corridor, under
El Tule Bridge on January 18th 2015 at 8:00 am wearing a green t-shirt to
protest against Open Mining in the State of Baja California Sur.
Various NGO’s are demanding the authorities to cancel any
permits for such practice, as it is absolutely not in the community’s best
interest.
On January 16th 2011 the S.O.S. Association rallied for
5,000 people to form a Human SOS at the same Location, El Tule Beach. The
outcome was surprisingly positive for their cause; over 9,000 people showed up
to protest against an industry that would affect in a negative way most of the
community’s interests; tourism, construction and agriculture.
“I wouldn’t miss it for anything in the world. My friends,
family and everyone I know are going to go. Open Mining threatens the
community’s way of living benefiting only a few. This is also a great chance to
make our community stronger, healthier and happier” said a local businessman.
If you are against Open Mining in Cabo, don’t miss this event;
after all, Life is more valuable than Gold.
