We need your help closing the Pinyon Plain Mine, a uranium mine that recently began extracting ore in the newly designated Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument.
Located at the foot of Red Butte, an Indigenous sacred site, the mine is an affront to local communities and threatens to permanently damage the region's aquifers, seeps and springs, which support endangered wildlife and several species found nowhere else on Earth.
Past uranium mining left horrific scars on the landscape — damaging sacred sites, depleting aquifers, and polluting life-giving springs. Now this mine is poised to perpetuate a toxic legacy that has no place inside a national monument.
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has the power to protect the region — and the health of numerous communities, aquifers, plants and animals — from dangerous uranium mining. But she needs to act quickly.
Urge Gov. Hobbs to take immediate steps to close and remediate the Pinyon Plain Mine.
