                        It’s time to support New Yorkers in their great 
victory against nuclear power.
                        Sign the Petition Today




                  We’re on the verge of a great victory against nuclear 
power: Reactor 2 of the New York-based Indian Point power plant will be shut 
down today, April 30. The final reactor will be shut down this time next 
year.

                  Thousands of activists in New York and around the country 
have worked toward this moment for a long time. Today, we’re taking some 
time to celebrate the first step of this great victory!

                  But supporters of nuclear power are using the shutdown—and 
the pandemic, if you can believe it—as an opportunity to defend nuclear 
energy. They’re cynically using the pandemic by spreading fear about 
blackouts in New York—a claim that is simply not true.

                  It’s time to support New Yorkers in their great victory 
against nuclear power. Sign this petition supporting the closure of Indian 
Point nuclear plant and the transition to 100% renewable energy in New York.

                  There’s nothing that advocates of nuclear energy can do at 
this point to prevent the Indian Point shutdown. But they’re using the 
shutdown, and others like it, to spread fear about the consequences of 
phasing out nuclear power across the country. They’re even using the threat 
of shut-down ventilators as a way to tap into our anxiety during the 
COVID-19 pandemic.

                  We need to meet their cynicism with a renewed commitment 
to phase out nuclear energy across the country—and that starts in New York. 
Sign this petition supporting the closure of Indian Point nuclear plant and 
the transition to 100% renewable energy in New York.

                  After you sign the petition, you’ll be invited to an 
online forum (via Zoom) about the closure of Indian Point. The forum will be 
held on Wednesday, May 6 at 4PM ET. We hope you’ll decide to sign up for 
that, too!

                  As usual, we thank you for all you do and hope you’re 
healthy and safe.
