Dear Friends of No More Deaths/ No Más Muertes,

Our son, Scott Warren, a long-time humanitarian aid volunteer with No More Deaths, is on trial for federal felony charges - for providing food, water and beds to two migrants - that could send him to prison for 20 years. As his parents, we are, of course, terrified at the prospect that our son might be imprisoned. Scott is a kind, compassionate and generous man who feels compelled to address the tragedy of death and suffering unfolding daily in the very desert where he lives.

The plan to ship the nation’s deadly nuclear reactor waste to the Texas / New Mexico area should be halted immediately due to the risks of radioactive contamination from leaks, accidents or terrorist attacks. Our health, land and aquifers would be threatened as waste containing plutonium and uranium is transported, with over 10,000 shipments in a 20 year long process. A person gets exposed up close to the waste they will die within a week.
