  1. People and peoples have to stand up against Uranium Mining world wide.

    We have in Brazil also huge environmental and health problems because of two uranium mines. And another mine is in construction. To stop uranium mining and the nuclear industry in Brazil, Latin America and World Wide we are organizing now the 1st International Uranium Film Festival here in Rio de Janeiro (End of May 2011) and in other big cities. The people in Brazil are not informed about the radioactive risks. So we have to do this.

    You are invited to join us. Any help is welcomed! See you in Rio next May 21-28, 2011.

    best regards
