Repost ⚠️ Indian Point action alert: A federal court has struck down the Save the Hudson Act, a New York law which was preventing Holtec from dumping over a million gallons of radioactive wastewater from Indian Point into the Hudson River.

🌊 As the health of the Hudson River improves, New Yorkers are experiencing more and more the incredible recreational opportunities that the river provides.

🚫 After how far we’ve come in remediating both the Hudson and people’s relationship with it, Holtec’s plan to release vast amounts of tritiated wastewater into the Hudson is the last thing our communities need.

📢 Join Riverkeeper in the groundswell of public outcry against the discharges. Tell the New York Attorney General that the rights of New Yorkers matter Save the Hudson, not Holtec: 🔗 in Riverkeeper’s bio.
