Say "Thank You!" to the Skull Valley
Goshute nuclear resistors by helping Goshute families stay warm
this winter
Every winter, HEAL
Utah works to raise money to help cover the costs of heating
fuel for those Goshute's who were on the frontline of the fight
to keep Private Fuel Storage from turning Skull Valley into a high-level
nuclear waste dump. Our efforts are a drop in the bucket compared
to the economic development that needs to happen on the reservation,
but the support does make a difference to those members of the tribe
needing some assistance during the winter months.
If you'd like to contribute to this effort, you can donate online
here: https://www.merchantamerica.com/healutah/echopay/.
If you'd prefer to send in a check, please make it out to HEAL Utah
and write "Goshute Support" in the memo (send it to: HEAL
Utah, 68 S Main St, Suite 400, SLC, UT 84101). We will pass through
100% of the money we raise from this effort to the Goshutes to help
cover winter heating costs.
The defeat of the Private Fuel Storage proposal for Skull Valley
was a major victory for Utah this year. We are thankful to those
Goshutes who had the foresight and courage to fight for the integrity
of their land and the health of their people, rather than sell it
to the highest bidder. As Utahns, we are thankful not to have the
nation's de facto high-level nuclear waste dump in our state. As
Americans, we are hopeful this victory is a step in the right direction
towards fair and equitable energy policies that don't leave the
poor and politically powerless shouldering the nation's toxic burdens.
Whatever you can contribute will make a difference this winter:
