STOP THE PENOKEE MINE! IDLE NO MORE!

Why is there a mad rush to mine iron in the Penokees of Ashland and Iron Counties? Overturning all Wisconsin’s hard won and world-renowned environmental protections as well as Native Treaty Rights makes this number one on Walker’s and State Republicans’ agenda. The Bad River flows through the iconic Copper Falls State Park, the Penokees, and then through the Bad River Ojibwa Reservation’s unique Wild Rice Sloughs and into Lake Superior. Walker and Co. plan to dump mountains of mine waste into pristine waters, permanently turning wilderness to an “industrial sacrifice zone”. What has happened to fundamental democracy when the local population, both Native and non-Native, are overwhelmingly opposed to the mine but shut out from even a token hearing, while Wisconsin’s new mining law was written by the mining company?

7 p.m., UW-Milwaukee Student Union, Rm. 280

With the recent death of Hugo Chavez, UWM Students for a Democratic Society will be having a movie and open discussion in his honor.

A documentary about Hugo Chávez and the U.S.-orchestrated coup attempt of April 2002. It was filmed by a crew from the Irish national television broadcaster RTE, who were in Venezuela to do a feature on Chávez and, fortuitously, were able to record a full-length video documentary of the coup. The images of the events presented in this video contradict explanations given by Chávez’s opposition, the mass media, and the US State Department, and the White House.
