                                Dear Vladimir, 

                                Right now, Congress is working on a series of terrible bills that would bail out the ailing nuclear industry while doing virtually nothing about climate change. Meanwhile, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continues to ignore the dangers of climate change connected to nuclear power. 

                                That’s why we just launched Who’s Protecting Us?, a hard-hitting campaign calling out Congress and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for failing to protect us from the dangers of nuclear power. But we need your help to scale up this new campaign. 

                                Your donation will help us reach hundreds of thousands of Americans with this new campaign. Each contribution will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a generous anonymous donor, so you can double your impact with your donation. Make a donation to the Who’s Protecting Us? campaign today. 
                                 
                                 
                                Donate today 
                                 
                                 
                                In theory, the NRC should protect us from the combined dangers of nuclear power and climate change. But Congress and the nuclear lobby have muzzled the NRC, directing it to promote nuclear energy rather than protect us from it. The NRC, in turn, is far too cozy with the industry it should regulate strictly. 

                                Enough is enough. Congress needs to let (or make) the NRC do its job. Make a donation to the Who’s Protecting Us? campaign today. 

                                The Who’s Protecting Us? campaign contains six core demands from Congress and the NRC: 

                                a.. Protect people and the planet by moving us as fast as possible to 100% renewable energy and phasing out nuclear power and fossil fuels. 
                                b.. Protect us against climate disasters that could turn into nuclear disasters. 
                                c.. Ensure that the NRC protects Indigenous and environmental justice community rights. 
                                d.. Prevent exposure to radiation. 
                                e.. Set safety and emergency requirements based on disaster prevention, not on easily biased probability calculations. 
                                f.. Ensure the NRC is an independent regulator, free from industry influence, and close the revolving door between the NRC and industry. 
                                Whether you contribute or not, please share the Who’s Protecting Us? campaign widely with your friends and family. The dangers of nuclear power are real, and we need our leaders to protect us. 

                                Thanks for all you do,
