'Shut it Down! No Uranium Mining in the Grand Canyon'
The Grand Canyon uranium fight is heating up.
In four large protests last week, thousands of Northern Arizona residents came together to call on Arizona Governor Hobbs and President Biden to close the Pinyon Plain uranium mine, which threatens Grand Canyon’s groundwater, biodiverse springs, and nearby communities, like the Havasupai Tribe.
The wave of action was sparked by Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren, who sent police to stop the mine’s first uranium shipments from crossing the Nation. Though Gov. Hobbs later brokered a deal to temporarily suspend ore shipments, protestors are demanding that the mine be CLOSED. It’s the is only way to prevent permanent damage to the Grand Canyon region’s environment and people.
