DC Days with the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability
June 8 @ 8:00 am - June 11 @ 5:00 pm
**Washington, DC: The Heart of the Department of Energy’s Decisions**
The Snake River Alliance heads to DC with the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability June 8th through 12th!
While much of our work is rooted in Idaho—celebrating the precious Snake River Aquifer, advocating for victims of radiation exposure from nuclear weapons testing, and opposing plans to dump radioactive waste in the West—the decisions that shape nuclear policy are made in the nation’s capital.
That’s why we’re going to DC. Each year, we join the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability to meet with members of Congress and high-level administration officials. Our mission? To fight for policies that protect people and the planet—and stop those that don’t.
Here’s what DC Days looks like:
**Day 1:** Intensive training on nuclear issues and lobbying skills alongside activists nationwide.
**Days 2–4:** Meeting with decision-makers to advocate for:
- Protecting our communities and environment from nuclear waste and pollution.
- Ending efforts to prop up the declining nuclear power industry.
- Halting the expansion of dangerous and costly nuclear weapons programs.
If you care about clean water, responsible nuclear waste management, and a future free from the threat of nuclear weapons, we’d love for you to join us.
To get involved, email Leigh at **lford@snakeriveralliance.org** with the subject line **DC Days**.
Together, we can make sure our voices are heard where it matters most.
