Rally to Close VT Yankee and Support Vermont

Saturday, April 14, 2012 - 12:00pm - 2:00pm

Please join us for a rally to support the democratic will of the people and elected officials of Vermont to shut down Vermont Yankee rather than permit it to operate beyond its original 40-year license.

Keynote speaker: U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) with Special Musical Guests (including the 12-piece Afro-beat ensemble, Fenebo).

The rally will.

. Acknowledge the State's tireless work to replace Vermont Yankee with sustainable energy solutions and prevent further radioactive contamination of the soil, air, and water surrounding the reactor.

. Support Vermont's resolve to stand up to the Entergy Corporation's arrogance and intimidation.

. Recognize the impact of Vermont Yankee on neighboring states and the support of their people and elected officials in closing Vermont Yankee.

. Demand that Entergy immediately shutter Vermont Yankee and begin a thorough, responsible decommissioning of the reactor and clean-up of the site.
