COLORADO AIM CALLS FOR BOYCOTT/PICKETS OF GIBSON FILM
The American Indian Movement of Colorado is calling for a boycott of the Mel Gibson film, "Apocalypto," due to its blatantly racist, anti-indigenous theme and message. Colorado AIM urges all people of goodwill to refrain from giving the bigot Gibson any profits from this film. Instead, Colorado AIM urges its members and allies to send the $20-30 that you might spend on attending the film to the following groups who work with Maya communities that are in active struggle for their survival and resurgence:
Chiapas Support Committee (www.chiapas-support.org)
P.O. Box 3421
Oakland, CA 94609
(510) 654-9587
Café Rebelion ((www.caferebelion.com)
381 E. 55th Avenue
Denver, CO 80216
303-744-7343
(working directly with Maya coffee and honey cooperatives)
