Thanks to everyone who has signed this petition thus far and who cares about protecting vulnerable New Mexico communities -- in less than 48 hours, there are nearly 1,200 names on this petition. We're now aiming for at least 2,000 signatures by April 4.

This week, we'd like to ask your help with a next step that will continue to show elected officials how critical it is to halt LANL's plan to release radioactive tritium during this already incredibly stressful and traumatic time of dealing with COVID-19.

Please take a few moments this week to contact your elected representatives:

+ Senator Tom Udall: (202) 224-6621, contact by email
+ Senator Martin Heinrich: (202) 224-5521, contact by email
+ Representative Debra Haaland: (202) 225-6316, contact by email
+ Representative Ben Lujan: (202) 225-6190, contact by email
+ Representative Xochitl Torres Small:  (202) 225-2365, contact by email

Suggested message: “I am calling to ask [name of representative] to put an immediate halt and suspension to the planned April tritium releases and increase in plutonium pit production at Los Alamos National Laboratory. There must be an informed public process that prioritizes protecting those most vulnerable.”

Timing is of the essence right now, as this release is planned for mid-April. We thank you in advance for taking this next step in solidarity with Pueblo and land-based Peoples who live downwind and downstream from Los Alamos National Laboratory.
