81] – UCS is joining more than 100 organizations
to march in the streets of New York City on Sat., Sept. 20 to protest attacks
on democracy, our communities, and the environment. As communities in the
United States and around the world face devastating climate impacts, the Trump
administration continues to dismantle key environmental protections, target our
immigrant neighbors, and give handouts to billionaires and the fossil fuel
industry while everyday people struggle to afford basic needs.
As Climate Week and the UN General Assembly converge in NYC, we
will rise up with the following demands: Shut down billionaires. Fund our
future. Shut down fascists. Protect migrants and the global majority. Shut down
polluters. Defend Mother Earth.

87] – Hideaki Ito [silentfalloutproject.org@gmail.com] wants to give
you an update about the Silent Fallout Project. It has been more than five
months since Silent Fallout was screened in Baltimore. He wants to express his
sincere gratitude to all who supported the project during its US tour and hosted
screenings. The film was shown in 20 locations over 43 days to over 600 people.
The film aims to raise awareness about the reality of radiation contamination
across the American continent and how many Americans are unknowingly exposed.
It helps people understand that they are impacted by this issue and then use
the US as a starting point to spark a global conversation about radiation.
Currently,
the project is facing a deficit of $100K, and its future is uncertain. However,
Ito is determined to raise funds and continue its activities. In 2025, which
marks the 80th year since the birth of the atomic bomb, there is a plan to
embark on a European screening tour, produce a new film, conduct a second US
tour, and host a large-scale event on August 6th. Make a donation at https://www.silentfalloutproject.org/donation

may not be possible to turn the US around through nonviolent revolution. But
one thing favors such an attempt: the total inability of violence to change
anything for the better" - Daniel Berrigan
