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.

Dear Mr. Ceo of Golden Star Resources the concerns of the Ghana community need to be heard and acted upon. These are lives, for every life lost the blood will be on your hand. For every mother who produces a deformed child you will be held accountable. For every death, sickness or suffering caused you and your employees will be remembered not as friends, but enemies in that region. Do the responsible thing investigate and if the evidence shows that they are being effected do the right thing, pull out and compensate the people for all loses and injuries.The Ghanaians are people to.

Please consider the health and well-being of the people in the area of your mine. They have rights, too. Respect them.
