Hi there,

In coming days Democracy Now! will continue to bring you post-election results and in-depth analysis on on the impact of the coming Trump administration. Because Democracy Now! does not accept corporate advertising or sponsorship revenue, we rely on viewers like you to feature voices and analysis you won’t get anywhere else. Can you donate $15 to Democracy Now! today to support our post-election coverage? Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $15 donation is worth $30. Please help us air in-depth, substantive coverage of the outcome of the election and what it means for our collective future. Thank you so much! Every dollar makes a difference.

-Amy Goodman

The PG&E plant in Salem, Massachusetts purchases its coal from Intercorp, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Exxon Mobil in Columbia. Intercorp operates the largest strip mine in Latin America, Cerrejon Norte, and has enlisted the help of Columbian police and military in displacing indigenous people in the province of La Guajira to facilitate expansion of the mine. We speak with Robert Dover, Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Antiochia in Medienne, Columbia, and Armando Perez Arejuho, a lawyer and resident of Tobacco in the Juajero province of Columbia.
