Mining Solidarity

Submitted May 21, 2009 - 1:15 pm by Corldey Coit
There is a local organization in Colorado which broke the back of the mining giant AMEX in the early eighties. Their work was done by people who learned more about mining than the engineers, mining water and finance and turned the international giant a into basket case. They were called the High Country Citizens Alliance out of Crested Butte Colorado. They then beat the deforestation corporation, Georgia Pacific out of the mountains of Colorado. Their methodology involved research and education as well as access to the courts, something difficult in the Mexican Republic due to the totality of corruption. Be well.
