Attend Dooda Desert Rock Music Festival and Fundraiser
WHAT: Dooda Desert Rock Music Festival and Fundraiser
The event is being organized by our
ally, Dooda Desert Rock, a coalition of concerned Navajos working to stop the
plant. The event is a great opportunity to learn more, demonstrate opposition
to the plant, meet the people who would be affected and have some fun listening
to great music.
More than 1000 people are expected to attend.
WHEN: August 2-3, 2008 9 a.m. - 9 p.m.
WHERE: Dooda Desert Rock Camp, Chaco Rio, NM

Go 10 miles to the DDR Camp in Chaco Rio, NM. You'll see red ribbons and signs along the 10 miles.
