*¡Mexican mining battle comes to Toronto!*

Meet the residents of the Mexican village of Cerro de San Pedro, who are in
Toronto to peacefully protest human rights violations and environmental
devestation by Canadian gold and silver mining corporations operating on
their land.

Lecture with residents of Cerro de San Pedro and FAO

*Monday June 16th, 2008 @ 7pm

**Hart House
7 Hart House Circle
South Dining Room (2nd floor)
University of Toronto*
*(by subway: Museum Station, then walk south on University,
west on Harbord, or St. George and walk south to Harbord)*

In addition to hearing from residents of Cerro de San Pedro, you will also
hear from representatives of Frente Amplio Opositor (FAO), the anti-mine
movement located in Mexico and Montreal, formed to defend local campensino
and indigenous peoples from environmental destruction (including water
contamination through acid mine leakage) perpetrated by Canadian-owned
extraction industries.

60% of the minining corporations in the world are located in Canada, due to
laws which allow companies operating abroad to willfully violate basic human
rights and environmental standards. For more information on this topic see
