Dear Dick,  
As the Three Mile Island disaster anniversary approaches, we wanted to share some upcoming events and media that shed light on the meltdown and the future of energy in the US.  [And this is Women’s Month.]

Firstly, we are eager to announce that Radioactive is now available for streaming on Apple TV and Amazon Prime. This powerful documentary sheds light on the stories of the women impacted by the Three Mile Island disaster and the women who stood up to reveal the truth and hold the government and industry accountable. It explores critical issues surrounding gender, environmental justice, and the future of nuclear power. We encourage you to watch and share this important film with your friends, family, and other activists.

Additionally, we would like to invite you to a special webinar commemorating the 45th anniversary of the Three Mile Island disaster, hosted by the Sierra Club and Beyond Nuclear. Details for the webinar are as follows:

"RADIOACTIVE: The Women of Three Mile Island, Gender, Environmental Justice, and the Future of Nuclear Power"

Date & Time: March 28, 2024, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time
Speakers: Director Heidi Hutner and team; Mary Olson (Gender and Radiation Impact Project); Navajo guests Anna Rondon, Krystal Curley; Professor Mark Jacobson (Stanford University). Cindy Folkers (Beyond Nuclear) will moderate.
