Strategy Against Barrick Gold, mega owner of Pascua Lama, to advertise for all the mass media to begin operations in September, the Huasco Valley community in the region of Atacama, walked colorful to say 'yes water, gold no' on Saturday 14 June. This long day began with a cicletada from Alto del Carmen in which six young men belonging to the group of Vallenar Jeo traveled 40 kilometers on their bikes decorated with white and green flags. Then came the 5 th March for Life and the water would be passed down the central streets of Vallenar. The activities ended with a cultural arts event in the main square of the city past the 22 hrs. Are all of them, which have continued to defend with all their might their territory and who have not allowed for eight years that Barrick is installed in the high mountains.
These marches have become an important forum for convening and meeting of the resistance to this outrage and born of the desire of the local community organized to oppose openly binational mining project Pascua Lama. This June 14th was characterized by the massive turnout of young people in the streets and demand the right to build a more fraternal and more sustainable. This version also included the membership of trade union organizations have also endorsed this conflict as the Central Unica de Trabajadores regional and provincial levels. As every year were present with all his energy and conviction the Confederation of Religious (Conferre), the Defense Council Huasco Valley, the Pascua Lama Coordinator against Huasco Valley and James, The Agricultural Community The Huascoaltinos, The Pastoral Integrity of Creation, The Atacama Ecological Group Clean, Collective Geo Vallenar, Construction Union, Social and Cultural Organizations Huasco FreirÃa, La Serena and Copiapo, the Parish Pastoral Cruz de Mayo, Collective Rexistencia, the Citizens Movement No Pascua Lama, the Latin American Centre for Conflict Environmental (OLCA), and others who marched with banners and placards.
At 10:30 am began the walk for life from Talca to reach the bridge at about 13 hours to reach the central square where there were few closing words of the organizers. After lunch, held the lead self-managed 'Musik for life ", where different interpreters for different musical styles sung their songs to support the Huasco Valley in their struggle for a clean river and the right to self determination.
Attendees came from throughout the Valley, from the interior to the coast of Huasco as well as groups from Valparaiso and Santiago, all screaming and chanting "eo eo eo, not seen water," or alarming, "neighbor next door, a river dried up. .. we do not want Copiapo pass as "recalling that the province is already suffering the consequences of mining that consume more water than is available.
Those who only came to look at what people did with respect to explicit their position in public space. Many bought the new issue of the newsletter "Aguasi" which was sold as a way of raising initiatives that allow us to be aware of what is happening here. Avenida Brasil in the bus drivers honked their horns in solidarity with the demonstration. 
No doubt this activity served to strengthen ties and continue with more encouragement. It fully met the objective to call many people despite the deployment of advertising undertaken by the mining company in each of the localities. As I said the radio call: "The valley has it clarita Huasco" and stepped forward to defend his life and water.
