Carnival of Dirt to hit London 15 June

http://www.carnivalofdirt.org/ If you scratch the surface of any transnational mining or extraction corporation, you will find the same abhorrent, filthy behaviour. The billionaires behind this trade, make their fortunes at the cost of human rights abuses, labour rights violations, poisoning of the environment and dwindling water resources, forced acquisition of lands with empty promises of adequate housing and employment, evading millions in taxes, corrupting governments, thriving in conflict zones and turning peoples against each other. Financial institutions like the London Stock Exchange and the London Metal Exchange and governments turn a blind eye to these abuses and fail to punish for these crimes in the majority world or even legislate against them adequately. Carnival Of Dirt celebrates all those fighting this injustice and remembers those who have suffered for doing so.
