“It’s heartbreaking, it’s really disconcerting to feel the rights of the corporations have been put above and beyond the rights of the people,” said Amy Conover of Marquette, Mich. When politicians “get into power they don’t act on behalf of the people, they act on behalf of the money.”
Indigenous people and their non native supporters set up a protest camp to oppose a sacred site being destroyed for a sulphide mine.
The cops went in, destroyed the camp and arrested the activists.
This is the way day by day we are making our planet unliveable!
