Stop Possible Nuclear Waste Shipments through Portland Neighborhoods!

Jantzen Beach Red Lion Hotel, Portland, Oregon |

Don’t let your family be caught in traffic next to the radioactive trucks heading to Hanford.
Oregonians will be exposed to over 20,000 to 30,000 truckloads of
radioactive hazardous waste traveling on I-5, I-205 and I-84 heading to
Hanford Nuclear Reservation if we don’ ...t
make our voices heard soon! The federal Energy Department (USDOE)
wants to use Hanford as a national waste dump for very radioactive
wastes.
Washington’s Governor Gregoire can direct Washington’s
Dept of Ecology to issue a hazardous waste permit that bars any more
wastes going to Hanford. The current draft fails to do this and would
allow USDOE to “cover up rather than clean up” 40 miles of unlined
trenches filled 50 feet deep with current radioactive hazardous waste
which is leaking into the Columbia River.
Even if no accidents
happen, USDOE estimated over 800 adults would die from cancer due to
radiation emitted from the trucks.* Children are 3 to 10 times more
likely to get cancer from the same dose.
You can stop the trucks!
Attend the only hearing in Oregon on Wednesday, May 16th, 7:00 p.m. at
the Jantzen Beach Red Lion Hotel. A pre-hearing workshop will be held
at 6:15.
Also write Governor Gregoire today and tell her to honor her promise that the permit will mandate clean up first:

With
the economy still in recession, the banks are still up to their old
tricks. They are still foreclosing on families, still ripping us off and
still controlling government. We need to put a stop to this!! We need
to be talking to people and small businesses about moving their money!!
Every Friday from noon - 6pm, we will be doing an action at a different bank.
This Friday, May 18th, we will be at Wells Fargo at 900 SW 5th Ave.
Dust off that old "Banks Got Bailed Out" sign and join the revolution!! |

What: Pitch A Tent for the Right to Survive, a public camp out
designed to raise awareness about the criminalization of homelessness in
Portland and across the nation, and the creative solutions that can be
implemented immediately to address this human rights crisis.
"The city allows people to pitch up tents for pleasure, but they won't allow people to pitch a tent to survive. This is wrong." said Lee Rhoades. "Homeless people are just doing human things, like sleeping, getting out of the rain, and resting."
Who: Right 2 Survive, homeless and formerly homeless community
members, and supporters. Right 2 Dream Too, a rest area where unhoused
folks can sleep safely. Dignity Village, a ten year working community
model. Local and National Allies.
Set up along the Rose Parade Route by 10am and have LOTS of FUN!!
