White Mesa Ute in southeastern Utah will protest the White Mesa uranium mill during their spiritual walk to protect the White Mesa Ute. Struggling to protect their sacred places and homeland, White Mesa Ute oppose the mill endangering the community and oppose it becoming an international dumping ground for radioactive waste.

White Mesa Ute are concerned for their community’s health, water, air, land, culture, and welcome others to join them on Saturday, October 22, 2022, 11 am Mountain time for their rally. The rally will be followed by spiritual protest walk to the White Mesa uranium mill.

Yolanda Badback, White Mesa Concerned Community said, "They are bringing toxic waste, radioactive waste, from places all across the United States to the mill in White Mesa. In the past, some has spilled."

Radiation Information for Everyone! Mary Olson — September 30, 2022 RADIATION INFORMATION FOR EVERYONE! Cindy Folkers (Beyond Nuclear) and Mary Olson (Gender and Radiation Impact Project) have set out to teach about radiation—not the same as an advocacy training. We want to help people be able to think about ionizing radiation, to better understand presentations, research papers, policy statements, and be more confident in asking questions, as well as helping their communities to understand radiation’s hazards better. We decided to teach on-line, in a “short-course” format. Our first class, teaming up with Ian Fairlie has gone well! We plan to continue teaching—with a different set of options each quarter…though likely a basics class will recur. Two more classes are slated for this Fall. All via Zoom, we offer web page where the talks are pre-recorded and participants can watch at their own pace, as well as additional reading. Coming up: OCTOBER: DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT OF IONIZING RADIATION 3 evenings— Class time for discussion and questions, Oct 25th, 26th and 27th at 7pm eastern time We will look at evidence of greater harm from radiation to women, and to developing embryo and fetus and young children, as well as well documented targeting of People of Color and Indigenous people. We will welcome Ian Zabarte of the Western Bands of the Shoshone Nation as a guest speaker. Cindy Folkers brings her extensive review of literature from the historical perspective, and Mary Olson speaks about her biological findings and a long perspective working on national and some global nuclear policy since 1991. DECEMBER: UNDERSTANDING THE HOW AND WHY OF U.S. RADIATION REGULATION — Class meetings for dialogue and questions, 3 days, Dec 6th, 7th and 8th at noon, eastern time.

The railway would be in the region of the horrific Church Rock, N.M., uranium spill. The radioactive water continues to flow toward Flagstaff in the Rio Puero wash.
