This week's program was inspired by "Flagstaff 'NO!' to Radioactive Trucks", an article by our friend Brenda Norrell in Censored News on February 10, 2025: https://bit.ly/3F8Tzb5. Our guest Leona Morgan (Diné) is an Indigenous organizer who has been fighting nuclear colonialism since 2007. She is a cofounder of Haul No!, a campaign to stop a uranium mine near the Grand Canyon and transport thru Navajo Nation. Recently, Leona helped to halt Holtec in New Mexico. Leona is also pursuing a Master of Community and Regional Planning at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
