Despite continuous efforts in good faith of Sacred Sites Protection and Rights of Indigenous Tribes to negotiate an agreement to protect and preserve Sogorea Te from the desecration of development, the City of Vallejo and the Greater Vallejo Recreation District are still refusing to abandon their efforts to desecrate a Sacred Native American Burial Site. We believe that those negotiations have reached an impasse and it appears that
THE DESECRATION OF SOGOREA TE (GLEN COVE) IS IMMINENT!
WARRIORS!
BE PREPARED TO RESPOND WITH SHORT NOTICE
SSP&RIT REQUESTS ALL WHO ARE WILLING TO FACE THIS ASSAULT TO

Update April 6, 2011:
We have been informed that construction at the Glen Cove sacred site will begin any day. The Vallejo Planning department says construction will begin in a week, although they may try to rush the start of construction because they know that there will be some kind of reaction from the Native community.

If you can physically participate in the defense of Glen Cove, send your contact info to: secretary.ssp_rit@yahoo.com so that we can coordinate the defensive effort.
