Extended invitation to attend an event on February 11 at the Sustainable Living Festival Australia which is being held in Melbourne from 4-28 February 2017.
The event is “Xiuhtezcatl Martinez: Why I sued the U.S. Government”.
“Displaying a wisdom far beyond his years, Xiuhtezcatl (“Shu-tez-caht”) Martinez has been speaking on behalf of the planet since the tender age of six. Today still just a teenager, his extraordinary eloquence has moved audiences which include world leaders, Hollywood celebrities and other impassioned young people across continents who have joined his Earth Guardians activism movement. Through public speaking and hip-hop, Xiuhtezcatl is spreading his message and shifting human consciousness – and in 2017, his message will reach Australia and New Zealand”.
