Listen "Uranium Mining, Disposability, and Death"
Episode Synopsis
The harmful impact of environmental racism and nuclear colonialism on the health and well-being of Navajo miners and Indigenous communities cannot be overstated. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the piece “They Worked Underground in the Uranium Mines. They’ve Been Surrounded by Death Ever Since.” by Sarah Lazare in In These Times, which shares the story and health struggles of a former Navajo uranium miner as a case study for analyzing the federal government’s efforts to disproportionately build the dangerous uranium mining industry on Navajo lands, which negatively impact the health and well-being of Indigenous communities, as well as the federal government’s work to modernize the industry to expand its nuclear arsenal, and what we learn and take away from this incredible piece in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.
