A Corazon Abierto defend our Mother Earth against mining
Radios and free media, communities and peoples, we demand to defend our territory.

And who gave them permission? To exploit our land, pollute our rivers, deforestation of our forests, poisoned with cyanide, our cultures disappear, and divide and attack our communities

March 2011, San Luis Acatlan, Guerrero. Various
free community radio, alternative media, communities, organizations and individuals, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Mexico City, Argentina, France, Barcelona and the United States, met in the Costa Chica of Guerrero, because we saw the need to come together to understand the threats that come with mining in our territory. We seek to find strategies for communication, processing and organization that allow us to fight in defense of our lives.

Today, the heirs of stripping for a living, transnational corporations are the main threat to the stability of our land and community life. We need the creation of solidarity networks of action against chronic plunder our natural resources (which to date has 518 years, 5 months, 17 days and counting), that allow us to confront and stop the pollution and destruction of our hills and rivers, our air, our sacred places of our crops and our food identity and our culture. Who gave them permission to operate and negotiate with us? Who gave them permission to dry our rivers? Who gave them permission to tear our people? Who gave them permission to sow death and harvest gold?

know that the bad governments that weigh on our peoples, who have allowed and overlap the use of land as a generator of wealth, regardless of peoples and their cultures and the preservation of the environment and voice communities. The installation of the mining laws under consent rigged, as a last resort to save the rich from its economic crisis and legitimacy, large areas have become ghost towns. Have resulted in poisoned deserts cyanide, where no trees grow, or corn, or beans, or squash, not all regional foods that are the basis of our cultures. Cancer, skin diseases and death are what we reap from the mining when they leave.

alone from 2005 to 2010 approximately 200,000 hectares of indigenous territory of the Costa-Montaña de Guerrero, was filed by the federal government to foreign companies, through concessions of 50 years may be carrying out exploration and exploitation, regardless the right to territory and consulting indigenous peoples.

That's why we decided to start the campaign in defense of territory entitled: A mother's open heart defend our land against mining. From our differences and plurality of ideas, languages \u200b\u200band cultures, armed with computers, guitars, revels, paintings, video cameras, audio and photography, created posters, pictures, songs, animations, esténsiles, leaflets, videos and radio spots, that seek to communicate the different impacts of mining on our environment, health and culture. We share our experiences with specific organizational plunder, to build unity and strength among social movements and struggles of Guerrero, Mexico and the world. We will not allow the economic interests of foreign companies are over our lives. The Mining NOT pass. The life of our mother earth and its fruits are foods that will prevail. Red
