Petition Surpasses 11,000

January 19, 2006

Thank you for joining our petition on behalf of the Western Shoshone. Through your efforts we have gathered more than 11,000 signatures, surpassing our original goal of 10,000.

Let's keep the momentum going. Click here to send this message to five friends, asking them to sign the petition protecting the rights of the Western Shoshone. The more people who sign the petition, the stronger it will become.

“We appreciate the support of all those people who signed this petition helping to preserve the rights of the Western Shoshone, Indigenous Peoples in the U.S. and worldwide. It is important that we stand together and bring pressure and awareness to those officials and those people, like the U.S. government, who are making decisions that affect our rights and our homelands.” - Carrie Dann, Western Shoshone Defense Project

The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination will meet again next month. As it decides whether to continue its inquiry into US laws and policies affecting the Western Shoshone and other indigenous peoples within US borders, we will keep you updated.

Thank you again for your support!
