sign petitions to stop the destruction of lands, homes, and lives

This is happening very close to where I live. Because of this a friend of mine had to cancel her visit to come for Xavier's and my fiesta, another friend had to rearrange her visit with me, in my own city there are vigils and praying and today everything is closed down, and they have forbidden all gatherings for the next 60 days....will we even be able to have our fiesta now? anyway, this is just the tiny personal touchings. nothing compared to the dozens killed. the official report is 30 - 40 indigenous but the police have been killing, bagging, and tossing bodies into the river. there are over 150 indigenous missing. Please sign this petition. at least it's something. this is all happening because of the free trade deal made last year btween Peru and the US. ah yes...once again the US....
