Everyone-
I hope you have already seen this invitation and plan to attend this
event to recall the long history of anti-nuclear activism that has
brought us, with PG&E's Diablo Canyon shutdown announcement, nine years
away from a nuclear-free California. While the announced timeline is too
long by the reckoning of many, the admission by PG&E that California can
get along fine without nuclear power is worth remembering.
If you had a hand over the last 40-50 years in actively opposing nuclear
power, come share your story and get in on discussion of the future of
energy in California. Please forward this to anyone you know who would
be interested in this gathering.
Hope you can come,
Don Eichelberger

Five Decades of Anti-Nuclear Activism
Diablo Canyon and Bodega Atomic Park:
Conversations & Reflections
Good news! We have quite a few “old friends” coming from around the
state, and the program is shaping up to be eclectic and engaging.The
following is excerpted from a news release sent out this week to
selected “sympathetic” journalists. Mary Moore and Mark Evanoff have
volunteered to respond to media calls.
Please help spread the word by uploading the calendar announcement
(below) to your local weekly paper's online submission form, or save and
then upload the attached Diablo-Bodega Reunion Postcard as a photo post
to your Facebook Page (if you have one).
/From the news release:/
“In 1958, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat broke the news about PG&E’s
plans for an Atomic Park in Bodega Bay. Dairy farmers, fishermen, and
residents from Sonoma County, San Francisco, and Alameda County worked
together to defeat the plant in 1964 before PG&E completed
construction. Opponents to Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant worked to
stop the plant by testifying before regulatory agencies in the 1960s and
1970s. The formation of the Abalone Alliance in 1977 provided a new form
of protest involving non-violent civil disobedience. Mass demonstrations
inspired many people who advocated for social and environmental change.”
