CALLING FOR SUBMISSION
The Marshall Islands student association in Fiji asks you to join us in solidarity as we urge our Pacific leaders to prioritize SDG 14.1 regarding land-based pollutants which has been pushed to the chopping block by many technical agencies citing lack of data.
Land-based pollutants includes the dome located on Runit Island in Enewatak Atoll which holds a portion of the garbage generated by 67 nuclear and thermonuclear bomb tests conducted on Enewetak and Bikini Atoll. The rest of the fallout will remain spread across our islands for the next 24,000 years.
We call for submissions in solidarity through poetry, dance, art and photos. Please run the hashtags below when you provide your submission:
