About This Project

* Muckaty Traditional Owners defeat the nuclear dump plan!*

19 June 2014, Alice Springs.

Thanks for being part of history! As most people would have seen, on Thursday 19th June 2014, the good folks of Muckaty and the Beyond Nuclear Initiative

have had an extraordinary, and hard fought victory. After seven long

years of campaigning, the Northern Land Council finally capitulated and

agreed to not push ahead with the nomination for Muckaty. Check some

videos and news articles HERE and

HERE showing the joyful response of people on the ground when they got the news.

After speaking up for country and showing fierce community opposition, Muckaty Traditional Owners can finally celebrate the protection of their lands and their culture for future generations.

Please tell everyone that together we dumped the Muckaty nuclear dump plan!

Use Of Funds

$4,000 Tipping Point Goal

BUT WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP.  It is great opportunity to raise money for this campaign whilst it is in the spotlight. Beyond Nuclear Initiative were key in gaining this extraordinary outcome despite operating
on virtually zero budget.  There are still costs involved with the court case, follow up, and a great opportunity to tell the inspiring story of this campaign.


Contributions will go directly towards covering travels costs for Muckaty Traditional Owners to attend the federal court hearings and speak at related public and media events, facilitate social and general media coverage (to keep telling everyone about this
win!) and creating updated campaign material to celebrate and learn from this success. We need to make sure there is no nuclear waste imposed on Aboriginal land and use this historic win to set a new benchmark in environmental justice. 


Be part of the celebration of this amazing win! Show your support: tweet about it, share these wonderful videos, radio interviews and pictures, and importantly - encourage friends to still donate. The gorgeous rewards we are
offering will become sought after souvenirs in years to come...telling the story of this once-in-a-decade victory.
