Be disgusting if this is allowed to white wash a fair decision
gretathunberg Stop the colonisation of
Sápmi by the Swedish government!
The British company Beowulf wants to
open up a iron ore mine on indigenous
land. The Sámi are one of Europe's
recognised Indigenous people, living in a
part of the world not only experiencing
heating four times faster than the global
average, but also an area that is still being
exploited for its natural resources by the
forest- and mining industry, just to name a
few.
The Swedish government now has to
decide on whether this mine can open.
The Sámi communities have clearly said
no to this mine, as it would be an
environmental disaster and jeopardise
reindeer herding and therefore also their
traditional ways of life. This is a clear
example of how neocolonialism still
exploits people and nature. We cannot
remain silent. Please sign the petition (link
in bio) to show solidarity and demand the
Swedish government to make the right
decision!
