“ The intentional destruction of a holy site for short-term greed is a declaration of war against all holy sites such as the Temple Mount, the National Cathedral, or your local church. Just as the people of London deflected the bombs of Hitler that were falling on St. Paul, people all over this country are walking in solidarity with the Apache Stronghold to protect Oak Flat." Rev. Sarah Macias, Alliance of Baptists

“The fact that this site is host to the ceremony that welcomes girls into womanhood means that making it inaccessible to the people who originally lived and tended it is an act of violence against women specifically. On every front the total disregard for this land in pursuit of extractive industries is just diabolical." Jessica Maudlin, Associate for Sustainable Living and Earth Care Concern

“Oak Flat is as holy to the Apache and other Indigenous people as Mount Zion is to followers of Abrahamic traditions. The mountain and the flat both manifest the brilliant glory of their Creator. Oak Flat was not created for corporate copper miners to exploit. It was created to give life and sustenance and spirit to generations of humans and creatures and ecosystems. To mine Oak Flat is to degrade God's sacred creation and to literally crater our nation's commitment to religious freedom." Rev. Jenny Phillips, Director of Environmental Sustainability UMC General Board of Global Ministries

“People of faith have a responsibility to bear witness in this moment - and the government has an obligation to listen. Protecting Oak Flat is a matter of honoring Indigenous sovereignty, defending religious freedom, and safeguarding God's creation from desecration." Avery Davis Lamb, Executive Director of Creation Justice Ministries
