https://youtu.be/34BAmA4Ni2o Energy Fuels Incorporated is threatening to start uranium mining on sacred Indigenous Lands just miles from the Grand Canyon. Join our awareness & action tour to confront this toxic threat. The U.S. Forest Service has permitted toxic uranium mining based on an outdated environmental impact statement. The Havasupai Nation & Environmental groups have sued to Forest Service to stop the development. Although a court decision is expected any day, Energy Fuels is recklessly rushing to start mining. 12 trucks a day hauling 30 tons each of highly radioactive ore could be coming through our communities. We say, “Haul No!” Protect the Grand Canyon, sacred sites, and precious water. #haulno #stopcanyonmine The Haul No! tour is free and open to the public.
