Today, lawyers for the Havasupai Nation and environmental groups are arguing before federal judges in San Francisco, California in an attempt to protect the Grand Canyon, sacred sites, and precious water from toxic uranium mining.
If Energy Fuel's Canyon Mine is not stopped, millions of tons of highly radioactive ore will be transported hundreds of miles through Northern Arizona to White Mesa Mill in Utah.
Are we going to let our future be poisoned for thousands of generations by this greedy corporation? We say, “Haul no!”
