VALLEJO, CALIFORNIA - The Committee to Protect Glen Cove/Sogorea Te has announced free screenings of two videos:

"Shellmound" by Andrés Cediel and
"The Spiritual Encampment to Protect Glen Cove" by Rebecca Ruiz-Lichter

The group has been at Sogorea Te since April 14 when it stopped the bulldozers from coming in and beginning construction on the installation of two toilets and a parking lot by the Greater Vallejo Recreation District.

After the videos are shown, various speakers will take the stage to hear the history of other local indigenous sacred sites and perspectives from Corrina Gould, Karkin/Chochenyo Ohlone, and Wounded Knee DeOcampo, Miwok, followed by a questions and answers period.

WHAT:     Video Screenings and Speeches

WHEN:   Wednesday, June 22, 7- pm

WHERE:   Vallejo Naval & Maritime Museum
734 Marin Street
Vallejo, California

The Committee will release other video screenings as plans are completed.
