                                This weekend, we commemorate and celebrate 
Juneteenth, honoring the struggle for Black liberation in the US. At NIRS, 
Juneteenth means breaking the chains of extractive and unjust industries 
like nuclear. Our latest blog celebrates the citizens of Homer, Louisiana – 
a Black community that defeated a proposed uranium enrichment plant in a 
precedent-setting triumph of environmental justice.

justice victory in Louisiana on the GreenWorld Blog
                                This Juneteenth, we recognize the 
extraordinary work of Citizens Against Nuclear Trash in fighting for justice 
and winning against powerful, profit-hungry interests that would sacrifice 
the wellness and survival of their community.

                                Every community has a right to clean air, 
water, and economic opportunity. It is time for a truly just and equitable 
climate policy that ends our reliance on nuclear and heals all communities 
that bear the burdens of dirty energy.
