Shundahai Network is dedicated to breaking the nuclear chain by building alliances with indigenous communities and environmental, peace and human rights movements. We seek to abolish all nuclear weapons and an end to nuclear testing. We advocate phasing out nuclear energy and ending the transportation and dumping of nuclear waste. We promote the principles of Environmental Justice and strive to insure that indigenous voices are heard in the movement to influence U.S. Nuclear and environmental policies. All of our campaigns and events incorporate the values of community building, education, spiritual ceremonies and nonviolent direct action.

We maintain three main campaigns

Environmental Justice Now directly assists indigenous communities affected by nuclear issues, ensuring their voices are heard on the national level.

Nuclear Free Great Basin fights the dumping and transportation of nuclear waste in the Great Basin bio-region by linking communities, businesses and activists in a common strategy to stop the construction of nuclear waste dumps.

Action for Nuclear Abolition works for complete nuclear weapons disarmament and closure of the Nevada Test Site to all nuclear programs except for containment and clean up. To this end we organize educational gatherings and nonviolent direct actions increasing public awareness and involvement.

Shundahai Network opposes all nuclear weapons research, development, testing and production. We actively seek to close down the Nevada Test Site to all nuclear weapons programs except for radioactive contamination containment and cleanup. Shundahai Network also opposes all nuclear waste dumping on indigenous peoples lands. We are fighting to halt the proposed high-level nuclear waste dumps at Yucca Mountain and Skull Valley Reservation. We work to educate about the dangers of radioactive waste transportation and promote a safe and sane energy policy based on conservation and renewable resources. To this end, Shundahai Network organizes and participates in nonviolent direct actions, demonstrations, workshops and conferences.
