About the event
Hudbay has left an ugly trail of serious human rights abuses at mines in Canada, Central and South America and poisoned the people of its hometown in Flin Flon, Manitoba, where it operated a highly polluting copper smelter for nearly century.
Now, Hudbay is planning to construct the Copper World mine that will destroy the Santa Rita Mountains, deplete regional groundwater, threaten rare desert streams that supply potable water to Tucson, contaminate the air, and weaken the regional economy.
Learn how Hudbay is refusing to disclose how many heavy trucks it will need to operate the 4th largest copper mine in the country. Our research shows downtown Sahuarita will be inundated with 40,000 heavy trucks a year carrying explosives and dangerous materials, 24/7/365, increasing the likelihood of serious injuries and fatalities.
Please join us at 1 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 31 at the Sahuarita Unified School District Auditorium for a vigorous discussion about the future of Sahuarita, Green Valley, Corona de Tucson and the Santa Rita Mountains.
