“I'm fighting this fight. I'm going to speak my truth. And I'm not going to be quiet anymore.” – Miracle Martinez, 24, resident of Superior, AZ

Last week, the Apache Stronghold and their supporters completed an 80 mile prayer run and march to the US District Court in Phoenix, AZ, for a hearing in their case to protect Oak Flat from destruction. Residents of Superior, a small mining town just a couple miles from Oak Flat, came out in support. I spoke with them for the Apache Messenger newspaper, where they shared about their fears if the mine is allowed to proceed. Check out this week's issue of the Apache Messenger to hear more from them.
