"description": "Join Onondaga Nation community members, Haudenosaunee Environmental Task Force, Neighbors of the Onondaga Nation, Allies of Tonawanda Seneca Nation, Food & Water Watch, Alliance for a Green Economy, Nuclear Information and Resource Service, Citizen Action New York, Frack Action, Syracuse Peace Council, NY Renews, and more for a peoples' meeting on nuclear energy and other dangerous false solutions to the energy and carbon emissions crisis that impacts all our lives. Please join us to learn about the reality of nuclear energy and the threats it creates. What: Let's help the New York State Governor get a clue outside her secret, exclusionary, pro-nuclear "2025 Advanced Nuclear NY Summit": Stop wasting time, money, and lives! Climate Justice Now! This event will be an opportunity for everyone to share their voice- please come prepared to speak for up to 3 minutes; organizers can help you with preparing talking points in advance. Why: Nuclear energy is a waste of time and money. Mining and nuclear reactors continue to produce toxic waste that poisons land, water, air, and kills and disables people. Instead of nuclear or any other false climate or energy solutions, we want RENEWABLE energy like solar, wind and conservation and storage technologies- all of which are faster to build, cheaper, and safer than nuclear- which will get New York State and our communities to NY's Climate Justice Law's energy and emissions mandates. Decades of experience demonstrate that nuclear energy is too toxic, too dangerous, too expensive, and too slow to build to be a climate solution. Additionally, the entire nuclear “cycle” perpetuates environmental injustice. Nuclear power generation is part of a uranium fuel chain which disproportionately impacts Indigenous communities. The process creates highly toxic radioactive waste, some of which is transported through Onondaga Nation land and directly through the city of Syracuse, in violation of treaty agreements between the US and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. All nuclear reactors (old and new) must also store waste on-site, and there is no long-term plan for storing the waste and no safe way to transport it. The organizing groups encourage masking and/or social distancing due to ongoing high levels of COVID-19 among our communities in various regions. Please wear comfortable shoes and bring water, snacks, and sunscreen! Bathrooms and water are available across the street at Salt City Market. Rain or shine - we will meet outside the Hotel Syracuse if the weather is good, or at the Onondaga County Central Library on Salina Street if the weather is poor. Want to learn more before this event? Please read the Onondaga Nation's "red paper" on nuclear energy: https://aila.ngo/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/NukeRedPaper3-25-19.pdf",
