IGD PODCAST: The Fight To Save Thacker Pass And Stop Evictions In The Winnemucca Indian Colony

Support us at https://itsgoingdown.org/donate On this episode of the It’s Going Down podcast, we spoke with members of the Sugarbush Crew, who are fighting to save Peehee Muh’ha, also known as Thacker Pass in so-called Nevada, from the construction of a massive lithium mine. During our discussion with the Surgarbush Crew, we talk about why the group is fighting construction of the mine, the protest encampments which have been set up to block mine construction, and how they are pushing back against several recent evictions of elders living on the nearby Winnemucca Indian Colony. At one point during our conversation, we are also joined by two elders, who share their anger and thoughts on attempts to remove them from their homes on the colony to make way for housing for miners. Land defenders are currently calling for supporters to donate, bring supplies and building skills out to the land, and stand in solidarity with elders resisting eviction at the Winnemucca Indian Colony.
