This October we have some truly frightening events planned!

Spoiler: The government agency charged with cleaning up Hanford plans to leave deadly radioactive waste 1000 feet from the Columbia River. This event will also include an advocacy-postcard writing workshop.

Event: “Too Hot to Handle”

When: Doors open at 7 p.m., event starts at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, October 12, 2023

Next,

Join Columbia Riverkeeper and Hanford Challenge as we take on Spooky Stories from the Hanford Nuclear Site.

This webinar will explore the scary, creepy, and downright strange happenings at the nuclear site as told through the stories of those who have experienced them. Grab the popcorn and dim the lights because on Friday October 13, you’ll be in for a scare! Don’t forget to RSVP, because you will be entered into a raffle to win a copy of Shannon Cram’s new book, Unmaking the Bomb: Environmental Cleanup and the Politics of Impossibility.

Event: Spooky Stories from the Hanford Webinar
Where: Online via Zoom, link provided after RSVP
When: 12 p.m.- 1:15 p.m., Friday, October 13, 2023

It’s truly spooky the impact your support makes in the fight to
protect the Columbia River.

Scare the U.S. Department of Energy by showing them how many people are committed to Hanford clean up. PLUS right now new members’ donations will be doubled. Give now, and you can make 2x a difference!

We hope to see you both in-person and online!
