Sorry guys I know this is way off topic but we have a strong and passionate community here and i have just been informed that some of our oldest communities in the world are under direct and immediate threat.
please sign the petition if you can.
I would not normally post a link like this here but they are running out of time.
while we have fun in the galaxy can we try to help this beautiful and amazing people keep their little bit so it's still there in 3030 as well ?
Quote from the elders:
We are elders of the Masai from Tanzania, one of Africa’s oldest tribes. The government has just announced that it plans to kick thousands of our families off our lands so that wealthy tourists can use them to shoot lions and leopards. The evictions are to begin immediately.
Last year, when word first leaked about this plan, almost one million Avaaz members rallied to our aid. Your attention and the storm it created forced the government to deny the plan, and set them back months. But the President has waited for international attention to die down, and now he’s revived his plan to take our land. We need your help again, urgently.
