SAVE THE DATE: Bikini-Enewetak's Revenge: Climate Change Driving the Atomic Afterlife
After WWII the United States tested 67 nuclear weapons in the Marshall Islands. Two decades after testing ended, contaminated waste was collected and dumped in a crater on Runit Island in Enewetak Atoll. Climate change impacts have disturbed the crater, and nuclear waste is seeping into the ocean. People still can’t return to their islands. Each year, more and more Marshallese leave for the country that tested the effects of nuclear bombs on their people.
Come to hear their stories, and what you can do to help.
