Please sign onto this petition from our friends and allies at the Black Mesa Water Coalition!
This bill is the latest colonial attack on Indigenous peoples rights and provides for billions of gallons of water to be chanelled into Arizona solely for the profit of corporations like Peabody and Salt River Project and to maintain the sprawl of unsustainable cities in the region.
PLEASE SEND THE FILLED OUT PETITIONS TO THE BLACK MESA WATER COALITION (address at the end of petitions).

“What we are giving up is our potential,” said Jihan Gearon, a Navajo and executive director of the Black Mesa Water Coalition, one of several groups trying to defeat the Kyl settlement. “We need water to do anything. Without water, we can’t come back to the reservation. We need to empower our own people.”
