Fire on the Mountain
New Mexico
Fire on the Mountain’s campaign goal: move the radioactive waste at LANL to safer storage at WIPP before the next wildfire threatens it and us. Persuade the governor to use New Mexico’s legal tools to force DOE to move it as promised.

Get Involved
Call the Governor
Calling is more effective than emailing. Reach Governor Lujan Grisham at 505-505-476-2200 and candidate for governor Haaland at 505-321-4790. More contacts will be added as candidates declare to run. Tell them, in your own words, that you want the New Mexico Environment Department to insist the Department of Energy move all legacy waste at LANL to WIPP before a disaster happens. "We are one fire away from a radioactive Santa Fe."
Bumper Stickers
Place a bumper sticker on your car.
The stickers cost us $2 so we gladly accept any donation you think is fair. Donations are all recycled into more bumper stickers.
One Fire Away
D.O.E.zo the Clown
We’re starting with bumper stickers and need to saturate the community with them. People will ask, “Who’s D.O.E.zo the Clown?” “What fire on what mountain?” and you’ll take a moment to inform them about the danger and to visit our website.
Mini Info Lesson You Can Tell Those Who Ask:
Our community is in danger because nuclear waste sits, unprotected on the mountain at LANL, in canvas tents in a wildfire zone. They’ve almost been reached by fires and would blanket northern NM if they are. The inept Department of Energy (D.O.E.zo the Clown) needs to move the waste to a safer, underground repository and the governor can make this happen, but she needs to hear from us.
