Today we celebrate the story of Homer, Louisiana, one the
first environmental justice
victories!

This
weekend, we commemorate and
celebrate Juneteenth, honoring the struggle
for Black liberation in the US. At NIRS,
Juneteenth means breaking the chains of
extractive and unjust industries like nuclear.
Our latest blog celebrates the citizens of
Homer, Louisiana – a Black community
that defeated a proposed uranium enrichment
plant in a precedent-setting triumph of
environmental justice.
This
Juneteenth, we recognize the extraordinary work
of Citizens Against Nuclear Trash in fighting
for justice and winning against powerful,
profit-hungry interests that
would sacrifice the wellness and survival
of their community.
Every
community has a right to clean air, water, and
economic opportunity. It is time for a
truly just and equitable climate
policy that ends our reliance on nuclear
and heals all communities that bear the burdens
of dirty energy.
