URGENT!
 
PLEASE DISTRIBUTE, ANNOUNCE, & FORWARD THIS CALL FAR & WIDE!
 
A Chumash sacred site in the San Marcos foothills is in jeopardy but it's not
too late to stop developers - If we pressure oversight agencies to further
consider the site as meriting protection status.

Amerika
this is an opportunity to demonstrate solidarity with our Native American
elder
brothers & sisters   Our local Chumash people need our support and are calling
us for help.  Please come with prayers, good intentions, blessings, and/or
political solidarity.  In unity we are strong and live forever.  Power to the
indigenous movement!  Marcelino Sepulveda, poetcrab at yahoo.com
