NATE CAST – JULY 31, 2026, CHRISTEN CIVILETTO, AUTHOR OF THUNDERING WATERS: THE TOXIC LEGACY OF NIAGARA FALLSThis week on NATE CAST, I sit down with Christen Civiletto—civil rights attorney, UB law professor, environmental advocate, and author of Thundering Waters: The Toxic Legacy of Niagara Falls, for an important conversation about the chemical and radioactive contamination that has shaped Niagara Falls for generations.For decades, our region helped build America. We powered industry, supported the war effort, and produced the chemicals and materials that fueled the modern economy. But those achievements came with a cost—one that many families believe they are still paying today.We discuss what we know about the legacy of toxic chemicals and radioactive contamination, why these issues continue to affect residents, what rights affected families have, and what responsibilities government and industry owe to the people who live here.Most importantly, we talk about hope.This conversation is not about fear or political finger-pointing. It’s about how a community comes together to face difficult truths, demand accountability, protect public health, and begin rebuilding trust.Niagara Falls has overcome enormous challenges before. If we have the courage to confront our past honestly and work together, we can reclaim our community, restore confidence in our future, and build a cleaner, healthier future for generations to come.Join us for what I believe will be one of the most important conversations we’ve had on NATE CAST.#NiagaraFalls #ThunderingWaters #ChristenCiviletto #NateCast #EnvironmentalJustice #LoveCanal #RadioactiveContamination #ToxicWaste #PublicHealth #CleanUpNiagara #WesternNewYork #EnvironmentalLaw #CivilRights #CommunityAction #NiagaraCounty #ProtectOurFamilies #RestoreNiagara #HopeForNiagara #ReclaimNiagara #JusticeForNiagara
