About the event
Join us on March 24th outside the Sahuarita Town Hall for a rally to Save the Santa Ritas.
Monday, March 24th @ 5 pm
Sahuarita Town Hall Municipal Complex
375 W Sahuarita Center Way, Sahuarita, AZ 85629
We will gather with our newly created protest signs on Sahuarita Road, starting at 5 pm.
Then attend the Sahuarita Town Council Meeting at 6 pm and speak at the open call section at the end of the meeting.
If you choose to speak, you can discuss anything that you'd like, but key talking points are the fact that Hudbay hasn't disclosed the truck traffic the town can expect. The Town Council has indirectly shown their support for this project by allowing photos of them touring Copper World to be published, and to our knowledge, have never asked for a traffic study of the impact to the community.
----------------------
Hudbay, a Canadian mining company, has plans to develop a copper mining project consisting of 6 open pits straddling the northern ridge of the Santa Ritas. This project includes plans to dumping mine tailings consisting of toxic waste rock as close as 1 1/2 miles from an elementary school and hundreds of feet from homes.
The time to act is now!
