The nuclear industry always exploits and harms Indigenous communities.

Dr. Tommy Rock explains that the Navajo Nation contains over 500 abandoned uranium mines, which leads to contaminated water.
Uranium enters people’s bodies through inhalation, ingestion, absorption, and circulation.

#WaterIsLife

The Navajo Nation has a right to clean water and healthy air!
"We need to shift from a Western approach to public health to a holistic, Indigenous approach." - Dr. Tommy Rock
And here's the entire presentation where @ssteingraber1, Dr. Tommy Rock & Dr. Patricia DeMarco discuss health impacts of #frackedgas, uranium mining & #NuclearEnergy & why a swift transition to 100% #renewableenergy is the way forward.

Indian Point nuclear plant is closing this week.

Some people are relieved and continue to work for a nuclear-free, carbon-free energy future in NY.

Others are fear mongering and spreading misinformation.

Here’s what’s going on... 👇
Indian Point will shut down for good reasons.

It has had 7 malfunctions including an explosion, radiation leaks, and an oil spill.

It was rated #1 in the US for risk of meltdown due to earthquake.

20 million people live within 50 miles of Indian Point.

The uranium fuel used in nuclear plants poisons Indigenous communities and miners here and abroad.

All reactors also routinely release radioactivity.

Contrary to what pro-nuclear advocates say, there is no safe level of radiation for human health.
