Take Action
Things you can do to Make a Direct Impact Today
New Mexicans are speaking up. The Department of Energy (DOE) is expanding its mission at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), putting our communities at greater risk with increased shipments of more dangerous radioactive waste—over longer distances, and for many more years to come. We urge Governor Michelle Luján Grisham to use every legal tool available—agreements, permits, and state authority—to enforce strict limits on WIPP. The DOE must keep its promises to New Mexico. Join us in calling on the Governor to:
- Enforce legal limits on WIPP’s mission
- Stop the shipment of new, more hazardous waste into our state
- Prioritize clean-up of Legacy Waste from LANL
- Demand the siting of a new repository in another state
Sign the petition and help protect the health, safety, and future of New Mexico.
Send NM Governor Michelle Luján Grisham a personalized email thanking her for taking action against the expansion of WIPP on February 11, 2026.
