SUMMARY:A New Generation of Nuclear Lies: Small Modular Reactors and Nuclear Plant Reopenings/ Relicensing
DESCRIPTION:Register to attend. \n \nBring your questions to Professor M.V. Ramana\, author of Nuclear is not the Solution: The Folly of Atomic Power in the Age of Climate Change (2024) and Paul Gunter\, spokesman on nuclear reactor hazards and security concerns for Beyond Nuclear.  They will explore the industry and government’s arguments for nuclear power as reliable “green” energy while heavily subsidizing a nuclear power comeback at the taxpayers’ expense. Would the rebound of nuclear power be an environmental disaster at the expense of truly renewable sources of energy that are available to us today? Linda Pentz Gunter of Beyond Nuclear will moderate. \nM.V. Ramana is the Simons Chair in Disarmament\, Global and Human Security and Professor at the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs\, University of British Columbia\, Vancouver\, Canada. Ramana is the author of “The Power of Promise: Examining Nuclear Energy in India” (Penguin Books\, 2012)\, co?editor of “Prisoners of the Nuclear Dream” (Orient Longman\, 2003) and the author of “Nuclear is not the Solution: The Folly of Atomic Power in the Age of Climate Change” (Verso books\, 2024). He is a member of the International Panel on Fissile Materials (IPFM)\, the International Nuclear Risk Assessment Group (INRAG)\, the Canadian Pugwash Group\, and the team that produces the annual World Nuclear Industry Status Report. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Leo Szilard Award from the American Physical Society. \nPaul Gunter is a longtime environmental activist\,  energy policy analyst and spokesperson with Beyond Nuclear on nuclear reactor hazards and security. He serves as Beyond Nuclear’s regulatory watchdog on the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the commercial nuclear power industry. He is a 2008 recipient of the Jane Bagley Lehman Award from the Tides Foundation for environmental activism  on the nuclear power and climate change issue. He has widely appeared in print and electronic media including Amy Goodman’s “Democracy Now.” He was a cofounder of the antinuclear Clamshell Alliance in 1976 to oppose the construction of the Seabrook (NH) nuclear power plant through public education\, mobilization and non violent direct action that helped launch the U.S. antinuclear movement. Prior to joining Beyond Nuclear he served for 16 years as the Director of the Reactor Watchdog Project for Nuclear Information and Resource Service in Washington\, DC. \n\n\n\n\n\nSponsored by MAPA and Peace Action Maine. Cosponsored by Beyond Nuclear\, Clamshell Alliance\, Veterans for Peace national\, VFP Golden Rule project\, Nuclear Energy Information Service\, Nuclear Information and Resource Service\, Citizens Awareness Network\, Cape Downwinders\, Pax Christi MA\, United American Indians of New England\, North American Indian Center of Boston\, Winona LaDuke\, Tara Houska\, Diné No Nukes\, Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safely\, No TMI Restart\, Dorchester People for Peace\, New Hampshire Peace Action\, New Jersey Peace Action\, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom\, Massachusetts State Warheads to Windmills\, MA Catholics for Indigenous Rights.

SUMMARY:Stand with Rumeysa Ozturk
DESCRIPTION:On March 25th PhD Tufts grad worker Rumeysa Ozturk\, a Fulbright scholar\, was ambushed by ICE agents on her way to an Iftar dinner with friends after leaving her apartment. Rumeysa was likely targeted after being recently doxxed by Canary Mission. Neighbors report that unmarked cars were surveilling the location for two days before grabbing her on the street. We do not yet know where she is detained. \nThis marks the first known abduction and disappearance of student activist in Boston and Massachusetts\, but ICE has been abducting our community members increasingly over the last 2 months. We must stand together against the deportation machine. \nAs the Zionist regime continues its genocide on Gaza\, murdering nearly 1\,000 people in the last week and disappearing nearly 10\,000 Palestinians\, the Trump administration has shown that it will keep following suit by detaining students without cause. \nWe must show that our communities will not back down to the Trump administration abducting our students\, deporting our neighbors and eroding our constitutional rights to resist the genocide in Gaza\, in which the Trump administration itself bears direct complicity. \nJOIN US IN THE STREETS: STAND UP FIGHT BACK!

SUMMARY:Peace Prize Women Strive for Peace & Justice
DESCRIPTION:What can we learn from them in these turbulent times?: Emily Greene Balch (1867-1961) and Jane Addams (1860-1935) \nBrilliant Emily Greene Balch (EGB) grew up in Jamaica Plain\, helped to establish a settlement house in Boston\, and taught pioneering social economics at Wellesley College for 22 years.

Both were prolific writers and worked HARD all their lives to stop and prevent wars.
