Dear Dick,
As the
Three Mile Island disaster anniversary approaches, we wanted to share some
upcoming events and media that shed light on the meltdown and the future of energy
in the US. [And this is Women’s
Month.]
Firstly,
we are eager to announce that Radioactive is now available for
streaming on Apple TV and Amazon Prime. This
powerful documentary sheds light on the stories of the women impacted by the
Three Mile Island disaster and the women who stood up to reveal the truth and
hold the government and industry accountable. It explores critical issues
surrounding gender, environmental justice, and the future of nuclear power. We
encourage you to watch and share this important film with your friends, family,
and other activists.
Additionally,
we would like to invite you to a special webinar
commemorating the 45th anniversary of the Three Mile Island disaster, hosted by
the Sierra Club and Beyond Nuclear.
Details for the webinar are as follows:
Date
& Time: March 28, 2024, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time
Speakers: Director Heidi Hutner and team; Mary Olson (Gender and
Radiation Impact Project); Navajo guests Anna Rondon, Krystal Curley; Professor
Mark Jacobson (Stanford University). Cindy Folkers (Beyond Nuclear) will
moderate.

the universal metabolism of nature is “just a
