40] – MAPA [info@masspeaceaction.org] wants you to attend a webinar on Wed., Sept. 18 at 1 PM ET End Nuclear Colonialism: Uranium Mining on Indigenous Land. This will be a full hour presentation with questions and discussion about the history and legacy of Uranium mining on Diné/Navajo Land in New Mexico from the 1940s in preparation for the building of the Atomic Bomb to the present opening of mining in the Grand Canyon Arizona land- traditional lands of the Havasupai, Diné, Hopi, Pueblo and other tribes. Tribal members will shed light on the increase of nuclear weapons and the misinformation that nuclear power is a “green alternative” for fossil fuels.
The speaker Leona Morgan is an anti-nuclear activist and founder of Haul No!, who has been fighting nuclear colonialism since 2007, who will update us on the impact of Navajo miners, the nationwide Church Rock spill, the inability of the government to clean up uranium tailings and the Navajo nation’s refusal to allow nuclear material to be hauled through their reservation. The facilitator Hartman Deetz has been active in environmental and cultural stewardship for over 20 years. This stewardship is based on his spiritual foundation in his Native traditions that value the Earth as a living being.

During the 30-minute orientation, share the most effective volunteer options. Extremism has taken root and is now thriving in the Republican Party. This emboldened GOP is attacking democracy itself—designing extreme legislative gerrymanders, rigging the courts, attempting to subvert election results, and stripping away the democratic voice of the people—in order to lock in permanent minority rule. Swing Left has the tools, programs, and community infrastructure to help you get involved strategically in whatever way you can, no matter where you are on your civic engagement journey.
