Leona Morgan (Diné, she/her) is a community organizer who has been fighting nuclear colonialism since 2007. The Albuquerque-based activist is a co-founder of Haul No!, an initiative to stop Energy Fuels' uranium mine near the Grand Canyon. She helped to successfully prevent a new uranium mining and processing project in Churchrock and Crownpoint, New Mexico. Leona grew up in Fort Defiance, Arizona, and attributes the health issues suffered by her family and others who live (or lived) near uranium sites to the resulting radioactive exposure and contamination. She is a graduate student at the University of New Mexico. There will be time for questions from the audience.
