Stop Uranium Mining in Australia Campaign @ the Channon market

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 15/08/2011 - 7:47pm

The Be Clear, Not Nuclear crew landed up at the Channon market on Sunday 14th Aug with whistles, drums, samba bells and facepaint to send out the message: "NO" to uranium mining in Australia.

In keeping with the traditions of the Drum & Dance Circle everyone joined in to create the groove and keep the vibe alive and many decided to add their voice to keeping the tribe alive by signing the petition against uranium mining in Australia.

Sayachan was there to give many people a yellow nose, to keep them on their toes on the uranium issue.
