John, we are planning a petition delivery very soon, and we
need as many signatures as we can get to convince the Mexican Supreme
Court to take on the case of the Maya Train.

Despite all the criticism the Maya Train is receiving, including from UN
bodies, high-profile international organisations and civil society in
Mexico, the Mexican government is clear: they want to continue with the
train at all costs. 

Going to the Mexican Supreme Court is our best bet to stop this project
for good, and protect the rights of Indigenous communities and the
environment.

[ [link removed] ]Will you please join 60,000 people and add your name, so we can take
the Maya Train to court?



-----------------------------------------------------



The Maya Train is being built at all costs – communities are being evicted
from their lands and native species are under threat.

We need to stop this!

Sign here to tell the Mexican Supreme Court to take up the Maya Train
case.

John,

The disastrous Maya Train can be stopped!

Our partners Kanan Human Rights have a winnable plan: they are taking the
Maya Train to court for not fulfilling its Environmental Impact
Assessment.

But not just any court; to the Mexican Supreme Court which is the court
with more authority in the country and the one that can do a deeper
analysis of this deeply problematic and colonial project.

They need international public support to make their case heard so that
the Supreme Court takes the case on.

The home of the jaguars is under high threat, while the Mexican Government
keeps pushing to finish the construction of the 1,500 km long tourist
megaproject “Maya Train”.

Indigenous communities are being stripped away from their lands and 23
nature reserves will be destroyed. All just to transport tourists from one
holiday resort to another.

Let’s come together and show the Mexican Government that the whole world
stands with the local activists, environmental protectors and Indigenous
communities. Will you join us?

There are serious irregularities in the submitted Environmental Impact
Assessment. The public was not informed about the environmental damages
the construction will have and how these will be mitigated – such as the
pollution and destruction of groundwater sinkholes, also known as
cenotes. 

We cannot let the Mexican rainforest be further destroyed! It’s time to
act, now.

The SumOfUs community has a long record of supporting legal fights.
Together we helped Maxima Acuna stop Newmont Mining's mine development in
Peru. Her heroic efforts won her the Green Nobel Prize.

Today, we can come together and put an end to the harmful Maya Train
constructions. The more signatures we get, the more likely it is the Court
will take the case. 

[ [link removed] ]Will you sign here so that Mexico's highest court will review the Maya
Train case and we can win?

Thanks for all that you do,
Alys and the SumOfUs team
