History of Environmental Resistance in the 'RGV'

from The Cheers Podcast · host Raymond Everitt

This episode is about the history of the environmental resistance movement in the 'RGV' for the past ten years. To help me with this, I am joined by Bekah Hinojosa. A local environmental activist and organizer that has sacrificed so much in this resistance to protect our local ecology and return the land back into native hands.The first half starts with public comments submitted in front of the ‘Brownsville’ Commission Meeting on February 7, 2023, by Sandra Trevino, Nancy Guevarra, Jose Jimenez, Emma Guevarra, Sara Stapleton-Barrera, Bekah Hinojosa, Juan Mancias, and Christopher Basaldu. All supported Bekah Hinojosa and demanded the charges against her to be dropped and for the former mayor Trey Mendez to be investigated for abuse of power. The charge of a Class B Misdemeanor for allegedly spray painting on an Elon Musk-funded mural with the tag “Gentrified, Stop SpaceX” is a clear threat to her but especially others resisting the continued colonization of this area.The second half is a discussion with Bekah Hinojosa about her experience in these environmental and indigenous struggles for justice and sovereignty. The goal is to stop the expansion of the fossil fuel industry. To a large extent, stop the industrialization of our coastline, that includes SpaceX. There are major achievements and current actions to stop LNG development.Defund Petition, Latest LNG Risk Report, and Anti-War MovementTell Global Financial Institutions Pull Your Support From LNG in Rio Grande ValleyRio Grande Valley: At Risk From Fracked-Gas Export Terminals | 2022 Update by Rainforest Action Network, Save RGV, Sierra Club, Les Amis de la Terre France, and Carrizo Comecudo Tribe of TexasThe March 18 National Anti-War ProtestStop the Continued Genocide with Indigenous Sovereignty To help reclaim native lands, contact the Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe of Texas through Instagram or Facebook.
