Arizonan communities have been poisoned by toxic uranium mining in the Grand Canyon. And yet, our government has barely cleaned up a fraction of those

Team,

Arizonan communities have been poisoned by toxic uranium mining in the Grand Canyon. And yet, our government has barely cleaned up a fraction of those abandoned mines.

That’s a clear danger to our Native American communities, to our food and water sources and to public health. And we need to do more to help those already affected.

Sign Tom’s petition now and call on Mitch McConnell to vote on legislation to clean up uranium mines in the Grand Canyon in the Senate! We have to take action.

Thank you,
Supporters of Tom O’Halleran

SIGN HERE: Demand the Senate take a vote on legislation to clean up toxic uranium mines in the Grand Canyon, which pose a danger to nearby communities!


Friends,

Uranium mining in the Grand Canyon has a toxic legacy that has irreversibly harmed my constituents, most notably the members of the Navajo Nation.

Families in my community were exposed to severe radiation from these mines, and people are now living with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses because of it.

Worse, the U.S. government has still only cleaned up a fraction of these abandoned mines.

Many of the toxic sites are near water sources, schools and livestock grazing areas -- all of which pose a significant threat to our local communities.

We have a responsibility to care for the people who were poisoned and to clean up the toxic legacy of the past. That’s why my legislation to provide a full cleanup passed the House. Now we need to pressure Senate Republicans to take it up for a full vote!

Tell Mitch McConnell to hold a vote on legislation to remediate toxic uranium mines in the Grand Canyon. He won’t act unless we speak out!

Thank you,
Tom O'Halleran
