Human Rights

The entire nuclear fuel chain involves the release of radioactivity, contamination of the environment and damage to human health. Most often, communities of color, indigenous peoples or those of low-income are targeted to bear the brunt of these impacts, particularly the damaging health and environmental effects of uranium mining. The nuclear power industry inevitably violates human rights. While some of our human rights news can be found here, we also focus specifically on this area on out new platform, Beyond Nuclear International.

Highlander is famous for its civil rights, social justice, and environmental activism. This has included support for the Oil Chemical and Atomic Workers Union, and anti-nuclear activism, given its proximity to the Oak Ridge nuclear weapons complex facility.
