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 Abalone Alliance Safe Energy Clearinghouse -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: October 29th Update Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2016 11:17:03 -0700 From: Nuclear Activist <diablobodegareunion@gmail.com> To: Nuclear Activist <diablobodegareunion@gmail.com> */In fewer than 20 Days, we’ll see you in Bodega Bay!/* 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.” *CALENDAR LISTING: Saturday, October 29, 2016 * "Conversations and Reflections: Five Decades of Anti-Nuclear Activism at Diablo Canyon and Bodega Bay Atomic Park" This one-day event brings activists from around the state to Bodega Bay for discussions and activities from 9:30- 5:00pm.
