“In a complicated and controversial move, plans for another citizens’ occupation of Seabrook were changed to an on-site anti-nuclear rally, Read the rest of this entry »
Lee Daneker, Occupier, Seabrook, New Hampshire April 30, 1977
I participated in the April 30, 1977 occupation at Seabrook as a result of my then-wife working at in a non-profit energy/environment policy center in Washington DC. She found out about the occupation and wanted to be part of it. She persuaded me to go along, and so she, I, and another friend went together.

“Part of the Clamshell’s” legacy was our successful combining of confrontation, creativity and nonviolence. You don’t see those three elements together very often. But they were evident in the anti-World Trade Organization (WTO) demonstration in Seattle in 1999, where hundreds of people were trained in nonviolent direct action, organized into affinity groups and given a handbook that was a direct descendent of the Clamshell’s. This is a great legacy.”— Arnie Alpert, NH program coordinator, American Friends Service Committee (former Clam staff person and member of Cukes affinity group on the site, 1977, and the Walrus and Carpenter affinity group in the Concord, NH, National Guard Armory)

We have already heard of at least one Western Massachusetts affinity group getting back together as the 30th anniversary of the 1977 Seabrook occupation approaches. If you are planning an affinity group reunion, please let TVS know. We would like to encourage you to share your collective memories with us, preferably on videotape and in response to four specific questions:? How did you get involved in the Clamshell? What?s a favorite Clamshell story? What do you think is the Clamshell legacy? What are your memories about the decision to change the 1978 site occupation to a legal demonstration?
Clamshell Story will (not presently) travel to France.
Lionel Delevingne, TVS co-director, has been invited to participate in a conference and exhibit at Ecole Normale Superieure in Lyon, France for Summer 2007 . The delegation will include include Paul and Linda Gunter of the Nuclear Information Resource Service and Beyond Nuclear. Paul is a member of the TVS advisory group.
Christophe Bisson, Project director has informed us 4/13/07 that the Conference as originally planned had been cancelled due to the instability of the french political scene around presidential elections and the severity of the issues that would be raised in a country that is 75% Nuclear…..and according to a recent poll only supported by 18% of the population… C’est la vie -pas rose !
Do check the link here to see the french in action as of this past march…events largely not covered
by he us media.
