Help Protect Community Rights in Ghana
Target: Tom Mair, CEO of Golden Star ResourcesSponsored by: Oxfam America
The communities adjacent the Prestea Mine in Southwest Ghana have suffered for years. As a result of its operations, the mine endangers their livelihood and quality of life. This threat includes two cyanide spills.
The mine's owners, Golden Star Resources, now plan to expand the Prestea Mine. This expansion involves leveling low-income housing and schools, and it's being done without adequate consideration of the community concerns.
The people of Prestea, Himan, and Dumase have a right to decide whether a mine can expand in their community. Their lives and livelihood depend on exercising that right, and you can help them. Tell Golden Star Resources to listen to the people whose lives they're affecting.
