Protest to Stop HidroAysen - Join Us!
Patagonia Sin Represas! Protest in San Francisco to Stop HidroAysen!
The past few weeks have been an amazing time of environmental consciousness, democracy and popular uprising in Chile, all focused on stopping the HidroAysén dams project in Patagonia.
A new poll shows that 74% of Chileans are against this project, and they've taken to the streets all over the country to demand that their government respect their wishes and cancel the illegal, unnecessary and outdated project.
On Friday and Saturday, the 20th and 21st of May, there will be massive protests all over Chile in support of a Patagonia Sin Represas. We are also going to have a solidarity event in San Francisco to call on the Chilean government to respect the wishes of its people and cancel HidroAysén.
Who
International Rivers, Bay Area based Chileans and concerned supporters of Patagonia, local communities, alternative/renewable energy and democracy in Chile.
