Manifestació dels indígenes navajo contra l'empresa extractiva Peabody

La manifestació va desenvolupar-se ahir a St Louis davant la seu de l'empresa que ha fet fallida. Peabody Coal ha deixat sense indemnitzacions la població afectada per les seves activitats extractives a Dinetah, el país dels navajo o diné. Les organitzacions indigenistes Indigenous Environmental Network (IEN) i Black Mesa Water Coalition (BMWC).








Text de les demandes d'IEN i BMWC (anglès):

We're fighting for an economy where communities matter more than vulture hedge fund profits #PayUpPeabody bit.ly/payuppeabody

We demand the creation of a Just Transition Fund instead of big investor and executive payouts. The fund would:

Fully fund promised Peabody and Patriot coal worker pensions and health care plans.

Require an immediate stop to the forcible relocation and harassment of Diné (Navajo) people in northern Arizona and provide full reparations for cultural genocide caused by Peabody.

Guarantee full funding for clean-up and full reclamation of all mined lands and polluted and depleted aquifers used by Peabody.

Prioritize payouts to stakeholders for communities negatively impacted by Peabody’s practices in areas left stranded in the bankruptcy – rather than big investors and executives.
