            Mining companies want to rip apart this sacred Native American 
site. Tell President Biden to protect Oak Flat now!

                 Oak Flat — a 4,300 acre area located just east of what is 
now known as Phoenix, Arizona — is a sacred site to many Native American 
tribes, including the Apache, Zuni, Yavapai, O'odham, and Hopi. An ancient 
location that carries deep significance and meaning, it's where the Apache 
tribe holds traditional ceremonies, harvests healing herbs, and communicates 
with the spirits of the land. Covered in rocky formations and mountains, as 
well as saguaro cacti, yucca, and cedar trees, it's also a breathtakingly 
beautiful sight to behold. Now, mining companies want to ruin it all — just 
so corporate executives can line their pockets.

                  Oak Flat is also home to a huge supply of copper ore, and 
as we all know, greedy natural resource corporations only see dollar signs 
when faced with a "possibility" like this. They don't care about 
environmental destruction, wildlife and plant life, ecosystems — or Native 
Americans' rights. Back in 2014, Senator John McCain helped give away 2,400 
of these acres to Resolution Copper. To conduct its mining operations, it 
would create a huge 1,100-foot-deep, almost 2-miles-wide crater right in the 
heart of this sacred spiritual place. This is blasphemy, and we can't let it 
happen. Sign the petition to demand the Biden administration take action to 
protect Oak Flat from mining destruction and restore it to Native American 
control now!

                  Thank you,

                         Miranda

                  P.S. U.S. politicians talk a big game about supposedly 
caring about religious liberty. Let's see them put their money where their 
mouths are. Demand full protections for Oak Flat now!
