Paul reports back from Thacker Pass
Paul Cienfuegos, CRUS founding director, traveled to the Protect Thacker Pass camp, west of the tiny village of Orovada, Nevada earlier this month.
Where Paul saw a vast expanse of stark, gorgeous sagebrush country, a Canadian corporation saw dollar signs. The corporation plans to suck up local water and dig a massive (miles-long and hundreds of feet deep) open-pit lithium mine and build miles of roads, destroying the delicate desert ecosystem.
Paul will be discussing the latest news of Thacker Pass with Will Falk during our 24+ hour livestream event on TODAY noon PST and will write up an article about his own experiences and observations for our May newsletter.
Keep this email handy and just click to visit our Twitch event anytime between noon PST on Friday, April 30 and 5pm PST May 1, 2021.
