You are invited to join us for our urgent fundraising event on Monday, June 30th from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. at the Walter Reade Theater
in Lincoln Center, 165 West 65th Street, between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattan.

 

 

We must raise $100,000 to cover the expenses associated with the litigation and the Intervenors' actions to oppose a 20 year
extension of Entergy's Indian Point nuclear facilities' operating licenses. The Intervenors are PHASE, RCCA, Sierra Club, WESTCAN
and Assemblyman Richard Brodsky. This might be the first successfull opposition to a re-licensing of a nuclear plant in US history.
(We are also working with Clearwater, Riverkeeper and the NY State Attorney General.) 

 

20 million people live within 50 miles of Indian Point, in Buchanan NY, which has been routinely releasing forms of radioactive
waste into our air and water. Within its vicinity, there are levels of Strontium 90 in the teeth of the children. There is not a
feasible emergency evacuation plan in the event of a catastrophe caused by human error, aging infrastructure or terrorism. The
nearby watershed is the source of drinking water for New York City. Efficient alternative energy options can supply our electricity
needs.

   

Our event will feature the New York premiere of the award-winning film Woven Ways, which exposes the impacts of uranium mining on
the Navajo people. The documentary on Indian Point, Nowhere to Run, will also be screened.  

 

This event is hosted by the Sierra Club NYC Group and is sponsored by the  <http://www.nlg.org/ejc> Environmental Justice Committee
for the National Lawyers Guild, the  <http://www.ienearth.org/> Indigenous Environmental Network,  <http://www.nyenvirolaw.org/> NY
Environmental Law and Justice Project,  <http://www.psr.org/site/PageServer?pagename=psr_chapters> Physicians for Social
Responsibility NYC, author and activist Harvey Wasserman, and the  <http://www.ipsecinfo.org/index.htm> Indian Point Safe Energy
Coalition (IPSEC) , which is a coalition of environmental, health and public policy organizations founded in 2001 to address the
vulnerabilities of the nuclear reactors at Indian Point.    

 

Supporters include Christie Brinkley and Aidan Quinn (other sponsors and supporters to be announced).
