Citizens for Alternatives to Radioactive Dumping.

Citizens for Alternatives to Radioactive Dumping (CARD), founded in 1978, is a grassroots, non-profit organization based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. CARD's stated mission is "to protect the land and people of New Mexico from radioactive contamination, while supporting a non-nuclear, sustainable economy." CARD began as a statewide coalition of groups and individuals organized in resistance to the (then) proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), a repository for defense-related transuranic waste near Carlsbad and Loving, New Mexico. CARD continues to research and organize around WIPP, opened in March of 1999, and other radioactive and toxic projects in New Mexico, the Southwest, and the US/Mexico border region.
