Love the Mother: Mothers’ Day Rally for Oak Flat

Oak Flat (Chi’chil Biłdagoteel), a sacred site for the Apache people and other Indigenous nations, is once again under urgent threat. The federal government has moved forward with steps that could allow the land to be transferred to a foreign mining company, despite ongoing legal challenges. As Apache Stronghold seeks a court injunction to stop the transfer https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/local/arizona-environment/2025/05/05/federal-court-to-hear-plea-to-halt-a-land-swap-for-oak-flt-copper-mine/83371238007/ , Apache Stronghold calls on faith communities to show up in prayer, solidarity, and action.

Join Apache Stronghold this Mother’s Day to honor Mother Earth and all life-givers—and to stand for the protection of Oak Flat. This gathering will be a powerful space of remembrance, resistance, and renewal through prayer, art, and community.
