"In four large #protests last week, thousands of Northern #Arizona residents came together to call on Arizona #GovernorHobbs and #PresidentBiden to close the #PinyonPlain #UraniumMine, which threatens Grand Canyon’s #groundwater, biodiverse springs, and nearby communities, like the #Havasupai Tribe.

"The wave of action was sparked by #NavajoNation President #BuuNygren 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.

"Live near #RedButteArizona? Join the Center, Havasupai Tribe, and other partners on August 24 for another rally calling for the mine’s closure.
