Riverkeeper thanks
Governor Kathy Hochul
for saying "no" to the idea of repowering the decommissioned Indian Point nuclear power plant. Proposals to bring nuclear power back to Indian Point ignore the substantial remediation needed to rid the site of its current radioactive contamination.

#Riverkeepersweep
yesterday! Our group removed over 40lbs of trash from ~300’ of the Bushwick Inlet. Scrounging for “treasures” under rocks was satisfying, esp. when wedged pieces required some gumption and brawn 😂 Great group of folks. Good haul 🦾

We are not backing down from the fight for clean water. Rather than working for the people, the administration is catering to mega-corporations and their billionaire CEOs at the expense of the environment and people’s health.
