Thank You for an Inspiring,
Action-Packed 2018!
Now Let's
Close the
Door on Nuclear Power in 2019
It's Time for a Green New Deal
and a Nuclear-Free, Carbon-Free World!
Your activism and support has had an
incredible impact this year--right when the world has needed
it most!
This year, in the face of
political and environmental crises we haven't seen in
decades--including proposals to promote nuclear power and
spread radioactive waste across the country--the safe energy
movement responded. We have major fights ahead of us in 2019,
but this year we proved that--together--we can close the door
on nuclear power, for good.
Let's make next year the beginning
of the end of nuclear power.
Here's a recap of just a
few of the victories, highlights, and milestones for the
No Nukes movement in 2018:
- Stopped Trump's first massive
nuclear-and-coal bailout.
- Prevented
nuclear
bailouts
in two states: Ohio and Pennsylvania.
- Added five more reactor closure
announcements--bringing
the total to 12 shutdowns by 2025.
- Blocked passage of Nuclear Waste America
legislation for the sixth consecutive
year.
- Mobilized over ten thousand to stop
nuclear waste dumps proposed in Nevada,
New Mexico, and Texas.
- And last but not
least--won a
major Don't Nuke the Climate victory at the COP24
Global Climate Summit ... and a commitment from Germany to
block financing for nuclear power under the Paris Climate
Treaty.
This
is progress we can build on in 2019--with your support. Chip
in now to start the year strong.
It doesn't always feel like
each email to our elected officials, every petition we sign,
or the next protest makes enough of a difference. Sometimes
it's hard to see the real progress we are making when we are
in climactic times.
But despite that, and with
thousands and thousands of us joining together and mobilizing, time and time again
... our actions make a real impact. Nuclear corporations want
us to feel small, isolated, ineffective, unqualified to speak
out. The truth is just the opposite.
We can and we will make
a nuclear-free, carbon-free world ... not despite the odds, but
because the odds are in our favor: we have each other, we show up, we
speak out, as long and as many times as we need to.
Please
pay it forward one more time with a generous year-end donation
to NIRS.
The momentum for a
sustainable energy revolution is building. With every reactor
that closes ... every radioactive waste dump we stop ... and
people across the country rallying for a Green New Deal ...
the work we do in 2019 is crucial. Your activism and your
support are more important now
than ever.
Thanks for all you do to
make a nuclear-free, carbon-free world!
