Free Stuff with a Catch

I spent a few hours at our table today encouraging passersby to sign a petition supporting the suspension of the Marlin Mine in Guatemala. The Guatemalan government promised to suspend the mine's operation a year ago and have not done so despite strong community opposition to the mine. Once a person signed the petition they got to spin the prize wheel to win some free stuff. 50 signatures and counting! If you want to learn more go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPiokKhmR6k&feature=player_embedded and to sign the petition go to https://secure.oxfamamerica.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=1229. Thanks!
