Phone mayors, government leaders to promote end to nuclear weapons, https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/letters/article_69379f16-3d70-11eb-bd48-f33ca83649b5.htmlBY VIC HUMMERT, 3 Jan
U.S. Air Force Gen. Lee Butler said with authority, “We must destroy nuclear weapons before they destroy us.”
Fifty countries ratified the TPNW in October 2020.
Regardless of who occupies the White House, the Treaty to Prevent Nuclear Weapons will go into effect by Jan. 22.
Seven thousand mayors in 170 countries have joined www.mayorsforpeace.org.
Millions of children plead with all of us to phone the mayors and other officials to abolish nuclear weapons. There are nearly 14,000 in the world of 2020. Bulletin of Atomic Scientists editors are convinced 2020 is the most dangerous moment in history. We cannot outlaw a virus, but we can legally forbid building more weapons of mass destruction.
For the future of all, please phone your mayors and government servants to act.

Nuclear Waste Submission Enter a submission on storage of nuclear waste
Your voice is important. Don’t let the government sweep nuclear waste under the carpet!
Please make a submission to the federal Public Works Committee Inquiry on storage of nuclear waste on or before Friday 30 July
You can simply add your name to this online submission and you can make any edits or additions you like. https://www.melbournefoe.org.au/ansto_submission?utm_campaign=urgent_action_2021&utm_medium=email&utm_source=friendsofearthmelbourne
Federal Parliament’s Public Works Committee is conducting an inquiry into nuclear waste storage in Australia. Most of this waste is currently stored at the Lucas Heights research reactor site 30 km south of Sydney, operated by the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO).
Ongoing storage at Lucas Heights is a better option than dumping the waste on Aboriginal land in South Australia against the unanimous opposition of Barngarla Traditional Owners and the opposition of many local farmers and people across the state. Please make a submission to the Public Works Committee inquiry.

Barngarla need as much support as we can to say NO to the Nuclear Waste Facility for KIMBA

Our Barngarla Mob need as much support as we can to say NO to the Nuclear Waste Facility proposed for Kimba! Help us fight to be heard and included in the importance of such a decision �� We won our native title to then be told we have no say and to go through this process all over again.
We don’t want the nuclear waste facility as they can’t guarantee it’s going to be safe and it will be a huge risk to the wildlife and environment. Not to mention the proposed areas are sacred and hold significance to my people and we don’t want more major damage to be caused, we want to try and preserve what we have left.
Research into this for yourselves, they say it’s low level but it’s technically high level! but our country marks it as low as our standards aren’t the same as the countries we’ll receive the waste from. It’s appalling and not wanted! So help us fight for our right to vote and hopefully stop it from happening
