Women Rising 32: Nuclear Weapons Abolitionists Part 2


Listen Later

As nuclear plant accidents mount, and nuclear waste becomes a greater threat to health and safety worldwide, Women Rising Radio features veteran activists at the center of the movement to phase out nuclear energy, power and research. We revisit Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three Mile Island and many less well known disasters – and hear about real solutions to the problem of nuclear energy.

Featuring:

Claire Greensfelder, International Forum on Globalization, Women in Europe for a Common Future, and the Global Women’s Call for Climate Justice, former nuclear campaign director for Greenpeace.
Aileen Mioko Smith, director of Green Action Japan.
Ursula Sladek, founder of Shoenau Energy Company in Germany.
