COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

Uplifting Stories Together

A key focus for our work is to create spaces for connection between affected communities. See our Work, Stories and Resource pages for some of the ways we do this. Below are two examples of our recent collaborations with community members to strengthen these connections.

community hubs

In March 2025, the Nuclear Truth Project ran three Community Hubs for affected community members and allies attending the Third Meeting of States Parties to the Treaty for the Prevention of Nuclear Weapons, held in New York. 

The Community Hubs were designed for affected community members, their allies and representative organisations. They provided space to gather, share stories, rest and collaborate on solutions for nuclear justice.

Breakfast and lunches were offered to affected community members both days.  The Hubs also hosted three special sessions run by affected community members including:

    • Listen to and See our Anangu Stories – with Karina Lester and William Hughes (APY Lands – Australia)
    • The Impact of Uranium Mining and Milling on Indigenous Peoples in SouthWest USA – with Petuuche Gilbert (Acoma Pueblo), Teresita Keyanna, Dr Teresa Montoya, Dr Tommy Rock and Janene Yazzi (Diné Nation)
    • JARA – Radioactive Patriarchy: Women of Qazaqstan film premier – with Aigerim Seitenova (Qazaqstan)
