Stopping Pinyon Plain Uranium Mine
As Pinyon Plain mine is closer than ever to extracting deadly uranium ore at the Grand Canyon & sacred Red Butte, Haul No! will bring together regional organizers to discuss updates, provide overviews of campaigns to stop the mine, & share calls to action.
The primary transportation haul route comes directly through Flagstaff & proceeds through Indigenous communities already severely impacted by the uranium industry. Join this presentation to learn more & get directly involved.
NO URANIUM MINING AT THE GRAND CANYON & RED BUTTE!
NO URANIUM TRANSPORT THROUGH OUR COMMUNITIES!
