<P>A <STRONG>brave grandmother in Peru has stared down the biggest
gold mining company in the world</STRONG> for more than 10 years,
refusing to give up her land.</P>
<P>But Máxima Acuña <STRONG>faces her biggest challenge yet</STRONG>
-- a judge's ruling where she could lose everything -- and she’s
asking for our help.</P>
<P>Newmont Mining has tried every trick in the book to get Máxima
out of the way -- she’s been beaten, threatened, even had part of
her home destroyed. But she hasn’t budged, <STRONG>refusing to let
her home become part of a giant, polluting gold mine.</STRONG></P>
<P>Now they’re dragging her to court, and her legal bills are piling
up. Her lawyers are working on a shoestring. And <STRONG>if they
lose: she may be thrown off her land.</STRONG></P>
<P>Our community has supported Máxima for years, and now it could
all come down to this. Will you help this grandma take down a mining
Goliath?</P>

<P>Máxima and her family have poured 20 years of work into their
mountainside farm. The plants and animals they’ve nurtured provide
them with almost everything they need.</P>
<P>But just 10 miles away lies the biggest open-pit mine in Latin
America, an abomination owned by Newmont, the biggest gold mining
company in the world. <STRONG>That mine has already poisoned
mountain streams with cadmium and lead</STRONG> but Newmont still
wants more: a vast new gold mine right on top of Máxima’s farm.</P>
<P>Máxima has fought them tooth-and-nail, become a local leader, and
spoken out for everyone affected by gold mining in the area. She’s
even won a prestigious environmental prize. With local communities
and international allies behind her, Maxima blocked Newmont's
multi-million dollar plans.</P>
<P>But now with a key decision around the corner, she’s at risk of
finally being crushed. So she’s asking us for help.</P>

<P>SumOfUs members like you have stood side by side with Máxima
before. In 2015, 140,000 of you signed petitions calling on Newmont
to leave her alone. <STRONG>Here’s what Máxima said when she
heard:</STRONG></P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>“I would like to thank everyone from around the world
who signed the petition in support of my case. In truth I am
fighting with my family for something just, to defend my land,
whatever it has cost me. For this, I thank you because your
support has given me the strength to continue
fighting."</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Let’s give her the strength again. And if we raise more than
Máxima needs now for the case, it will go towards powering our
related campaigns against greedy, destructive corporations.</P>
