Reaching Critical Will, together with WILPF’s Environment and Women, Peace and Security programmes, published their report Petrobromance,’ Nuclear Priesthood, and Police Repression: Feminist Confrontations of Violent Industries, and Movements to Abolish Them investigating the nexus between the nuclear and fossil fuel industries, and state repression of activism against these industries. On 2 October we attended the launch webinar about building connections across the antinuclear, environmental, and police abolition movements.
‘Petrobromance,’ Nuclear Priesthood, and Police Repression: Feminist Confrontations of Violent Industries, and Movements to Abolish Them analyses, from a feminist and gender-transformative perspective, trends and parallels in how the nuclear and fossil fuel industries operate and entrench their power; their impacts on communities, including gendered impacts; and the ways in which resistance against these industries is suppressed by police, militaries, and private military and security companies. Drawn from research and consultation with activists, organisers, academics, and members of impacted communities, this research aims to create a shared knowledge base and illuminate paths forward for deeper collaboration across movements, including, but not limited to, among antinuclear, environmental, and land and water defence movements.
We joined the webinar with Edwick Madzimure and Joni Seager, moderated by Ray Acheson and Genevieve Riccoboni, to hear the report’s main findings!
