Stop Unsafe Mining: EarthWINS Daily in January 1996
Alice McCombs (amccombs@MAIL.WISCNET.NET)
Wed, 31 Jan 1996 15:56:56 -0600
Unsafe mining has caused environmental destruction and health problems in
almost every country around the world. Mining corporations are frequently
accused of unfair labor practices. These corporations also support
anti-environmental legislation and undermine democracy. Unsafe mining has
been associated with gross human rights violations and "environmental
racism" against native and indigenous peoples.
Mining-exchange is an international email listserv dedicated to helping
people who resist unsafe mining in their neighborhoods share information
about their strategies, mining, workers in mining industries, and mining
corporations.
EarthWINS Daily is the mining-exchange email newsletter. Every day
subscribers to mining-exchange receive 20K to 30K of info/news about unsafe
mining.
