"The greatest pleasure I have today is when I'm in my corn fields and chile fields, teaching my grandsons and the people with me how we do this and why we do this. Why corn is such an essential part of our life," - Sen. Benny Shendo on the Jemez people's connection to the land

💪 We can't thank Brophy Toledo, spiritual leader of Jemez Pueblo and a descendant of the Pecos peoples, and Ralph Vigil, Pecos acequia farmer, for representing #StopTererroMine today at Water & Natural Resources #NMLeg committee! We are a local-led coalition to #ProtectOurPecos

The Power of Your Voice---> Early on the USFS decided not to require an environmental assessment for the proposed Tererro mining project - they received A LOT of push back & have determined the need for an environmental assessment. #StopTererroMine #ProtectOurPecos #NMLeg

"We already have a history of missteps, we have evidence of the impact the various #mining interests have in this state. The question here is 'Why?' when we know the mining industry has left generations of us harmed." - @proybalcaballer on #StopTererroMine #NMLeg #ProtectOurPecos
