*[Enwl-eng] Stop Nuclear Power in 2020: Take Two Steps Now

Dear Friend,
The nuclear industry is
furiously working for a a Nuclear Power
Relapse in 2020. They want to roll back safety and environmental
regulations, and to push through new laws that would keep us dependent on poison
power for decades to come. The stakes could not be higher for our country, our
environment, and our health and safety next year.
We can and must stop them,
and we can’t wait for the 2020 elections to do it. Nuclear corporations and
their government backers want to get it all done now—while they think the public
is only paying attention to impeachment and the presidential
campaigns.
We need you to take two
actions now:
- ACT: Tell Congress to wake up: Stop wasting time
and money on nuclear power--we need real climate solutions
now! NIRS is kicking off
a new campaign to stop the Nuclear Relapse in 2020. The solutions to nuclear power and global warming
both start with moving as fast as possible to safe, clean, 100% renewable
energy. We need to inform our members of Congress—and make sure
they act! The best way to do that is for each of us to contact our
Representative and Senators. Repeatedly. NIRS will send out
regular action alerts, each with a new message, so you can educate your
members of Congress step-by-step. We can't afford nuclear power
or climate change, and we definitely can't afford them
together.
- SUPPORT: Help NIRS build this campaign by making a donation. NIRS needs your support to Stop the Nuclear Relapse and build our momentum in 2020. In fact, we need our community to up the ante and contribute more. Next year, people will be donating more than ever to political campaigns. And rightly so! But we have to make sure NIRS stays strong, too, and that we are able to keep up the fight.
Time is of the essence. We are now facing two simultaneous global environmental crises: climate change and radioactive waste. And we don’t have the luxury to deal with one and not the other. The world can’t afford nuclear power or climate change, and we definitely can’t afford them together.
If the industry succeeds in pushing its agenda before
the election, the damage could be irreparable afterward. And whatever the
outcomes at the polls next November, we need to get to work now to make sure the
next Congress … the next presidency … the next state legislatures and
governorships … have the backing and the confidence—and, yes, the pressure,
too—to say no to nuclear power and radioactive waste.
With your support and the courageous work of
grassroots activists around the country, we have had key victories in 2019.
40 years
after the meltdown of the Three Mile Island unit 2 reactor in Pennsylvania, the
unit 1 reactor shut down in September. And Massachusetts went
nuclear-free in May when the Pilgrim reactor shut down after 47 years. There are
only 96 reactors operating in the US, and more reactors will close in 2020 and
in the years to come.
But only if we can Stop the Nuclear Relapse. That is why we need your support now.
SUPPORT: Please
make a donation to help us build our campaign in
2020.
If you already took action,
please do so again.
Thanks for all you do!
Tim Judson
