'It's awful, and we don't want it to happen again': Navajo Nation takes stand against uranium transports

A pause of the uranium transports from the mine south of the Grand Canyon through the Navajo Nation to Utah is currently in effect.

On Friday, a group of protestors walked on Highway 89 in Cameron, Ariz., protesting Pinyon Plain Mine owner Energy Fuels trucking uranium ore through the Navajo Nation to Utah. Uranium has a long history of impacts on the Navajo Nation and its people since the 1940s. "We've seen the effects of these things in the past on our land, the spills into our rivers, into our communities, the residual effects on our on our health, of our children, our elders," Cameron resident Adair Klopfenstein said. "It's awful, and we don't want it to happen again." The Pinyon Plain Mine, formerly known as Canyon Mine, began mining uranium ore in December and is expected to be actively mining for at least five years. The company had told 12News at the end of June it would start transporting the uranium ore to a mill in southeast Utah in July or August. That hauling appears to have started before the pause was put in place. "I call it illegal smuggling across our border and then through the Navajo Nation," Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren said.

Fundraisers for people who've lost everything and everyone

Three fundraisers have recently been brought to my attention in particular for individuals who've lost their entire families and homes to the zionist occupation.

Hamdy: a video of him carrying his dead baby sister following an attack on their home has made been widely circulated on Instagram. He didn't just lose his baby sister, but his mother and nearly all of his siblings, cousins, nephews, and nieces. Everything he knew gone in the blink of an eye. He and his sister and father are now stranded without help.

Hossam Bardaweel: having lost all his parents and siblings, he is now responsible for caring for his siblings' wives and their children. Despite the unsurmountable pain he and his brothers' widows are in, they still need to find a way to care for the surviving orphaned children. He needs help in caring for them while he battles his own grief.

Mahmoud Bardawil: he lost his entire family in the bombing of his home. He is the last survivor of his family, unable to say goodbye to them while he himself was being treated at the hospital for an injury he sustained in the bombing. His treatment did not go well and he needs to get treated outside of Ghazzah but it will be expensive. He needs help to evacuate and start a new life.

Do not hesitate to donate to these fundraisers, they all need the help. Whatever you can spare please try to split it between the three of them.
