Something’s a brewin’! Support the Convergence and Cook Shack Base Camp on the Peaks!
STOP SPIRITUAL DESECRATION AND
ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION NOW!
PROTECT THE PEAKS AND ALL SACRED PLACES!
Dear Friends Family, Neighbors and Allies,
The Cook Shack has officially set-up camp!!! We started our first day with over two dozen people strong. Today, on our second day, we have grown to 40 plus people who love and care about the Peaks, the all sacred places, people’s health, cultural and spiritual survival, and the protection of Mother Earth. Folks from all over are coming together to stop the construction and put an end once and for all to the desecration.
What we need now is more of us. We ALL need to converge on the Holy San Francisco Peaks. Let’s become hundreds and thousands strong. The construction is moving quickly and we need everyone to act now. Don’t wait until it’s too late. With a thousand voices, anything is possible!
Don’t know where to start? Here are just a few suggestions…
1. Grab your gear and come camping! Enjoy the peace and beauty the Peaks has to offer and give back by joining the resistance. Please be self-sufficient. List of what that means, included below.
2. Come to the mountain for a day! Say hello to us, go for a hike, take a breather, play with your kids… just come!
3. Help run and support the Cook Shack. Make donations at Taala Hooghan Infoshop – 1704 N. 2nd. St. East Flagstaff AZ. List of needs included below.
4. Become the Media! Bear witness, document the atrocities being committed by Snowbowl, the Forest Service, and by extension the USDA, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and the city of Flagstaff… and spread the word!
5. Be ready! Keep your eyes/ears open and support calls to action and public events in the next few weeks!

The goals of the Cook Shack base camp are simple:
To be visibly and actively in resistance to corporate greed, state violence, environmental destruction, and spiritual desecration.
To not allow ourselves or others to look away - To bear witness to the atrocities being committed against the environment, indigenous people and community health, as well as bear witness to the resilience and power of the people!
To support other encampments and affinity groups by providing access to available food, gear, first aid, information and other supplies being offered and dropped off by supporters and community members. We will be transporting donations from Taala Hooghan Infoshop to the CookShack base camp.
To answer the calls to action to STOP CONSTRUCTION AND DESECRATION and to stand with people past and present fighting to protect the peaks and all sacred places.
Much Love,
Cook Shack
