Flagstaff: 'NO!' to Radioactive Trucks
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Feb. 10, 2025
In solidarity with the work of Haul No! on the Flagstaff City Hall lawn today, February 10, Flagstaff residents opposed trucks hauling uranium from Energy Fuels uranium mine in the Grand Canyon, through Flagstaff, before entering the Navajo Nation and other Indigenous lands.
Energy Fuels plans to begin dangerous radioactive transport on Feb. 12, with radioactive ore loads endangering the people of Flagstaff. Energy Fuels said it plans to transport radioactive ore in six to ten trucks a day from its Pinyon Plain uranium mine in the Grand Canyon to the Energy Fuels uranium mill in the White Mesa Ute community in southeastern Utah.
The deadly trucks will pass by the homes of Havasupai, Paiute, Hualapai, Dine', Hopi and Ute who live in their ancestral homelands in the Grand Canyon and Four Corners region.
"The effects most impact Indigenous communities living on traditional lands near the mine and mill, and on the transport route," the solidarity group said.
"The efforts of Haul No! are centered to protect those who have been and continue to be harmed by the horrors of nuclear colonialism for generations. There are many people in the Flagstaff community who care and have the resources available to stop this from happening."
"Let's make some noise and alert people to the dangers that this imminent threat poses to everyone! Let's work toward preventing this disaster by educating the public. Flagstaff Haul No! Solidarity is a collective advocating independent actions and Flagstaff folks to self organize for this area to prevent the harms of Pinyon Plain mine from reaching more vulnerable communities."
