We are often asked “What Can I Do?” On October 17, we invite you to host a screening of Gold Fever. Global Screening Day is not just about watching a film, it’s... an action, an opportunity to screen together with NGOs, community groups, campus organizations, churches and others in solidarity with people—like Diodora, Crisanta, and Gregoria—experiencing globalized resource extraction first hand.

In 2004, with 90 percent of its surface water contaminated, El Salvador turned down Pacific Rim's proposal to mine in the country. So Pacific Rim sued -- in a private, World Bank tribunal.
Trade rules allow this to happen frequently, and large-scale mining companies reap the benefits.
Federal officials recently charged a mining company for dumping mine waste into an Alaskan river. When will companies around the world who regularly do this be held accountable? http://bit.ly/1tpXv5t

Our Bristol Bay has been nominated for a BENNY Award!
BENNY Awards celebrate activists fighting corporate abuse and changing corporate behavior. When mining gi...ants Anglo American and Rio Tinto withdrew from the Pebble mine we did just that.

With the World Parks Congress opening today in Sydney, we wonder - when will mining companies stop digging up national and state parks around the world for dirt...y gold?
Pictured: Lorentz National Park in West Papua, Indonesia, which Freeport McMoRan has devastated with its Grasberg copper/gold mine.
Three separate accidents in Mexico have spilled millions of tons of mine waste in a span of just four months. Where's the oversight for the mining industry in Mexico? http://bit.ly/1Emlj1R
A gold mine's impacts are felt long after they close -- in dollars alone, the US public spent $27 million in cleanup for mines in South Caroline. These costs are expected to rise.
"A rare look at how corporations are leveraging 'dark money' nonprofits to influence politics like never before: How a secret donation by a billionaire’s Florida-based company helped tip a Wisconsin election and secure legislation that the company helped write."
Unfortunately, bad news from the Grasberg mine in Indonesia never seems to stop coming.
In addition to a history of worker fatalities, Grasberg is featured prominently in our Troubled Waters report [http://www.earthworksaction.org/libr…/detail/troubled_waters] as a major mine that directly dumps toxic mine waste into water bodies.

Modern open pit mines pollute the environment.
They all promise they won't. But if you go back and check their promises vs reality -- as we did -- more than 75%... wind up polluting.
Then read this op-ed and think about the whether we really want the Rosemont copper mine proposed in the scenic Santa Rita Mountains south of Tucson, AZ: http://huff.to/1nM4BQ3
Cell phones -- including the ones that will get tossed today for the new iPhones, contain gold. Recyle your phone here! http://rmcp.earthworksaction.org/
Check out this video about an "eco-warrior" working to document and stop illegal gold mining in Costa Rica, where it's destroying a protected area.
'Dubbed terrorists and enemies of progress by the state, the Frente de Defensa Miguelense is one of several Mayan-led protest groups across Guatemala that are facing down assassinations, detention and intimidation to stop their land becoming part of a continent-wide rush for resources."
We didn't think we'd be writing about another mine spill so soon, but we are. The mining industry needs to clean up its act: http://bit.ly/1vSedO9
