On this day 30 years ago, over 2000 protestors occupied the future site of the Seabrook nuclear power plant, and more than 1400 were arrested. They called themselves The Clamshell Alliance, and their efforts to stop the construction of nuclear reactors on the Seacoast helped shape the national "No Nukes" movement. We'll talk with two "Clams" about their protest and what the anti-nuclear movement learned about getting an activist message out into the mainstream.

Our guests are:

• Arnie Alpert, New Hampshire Program Coordinator for the American Friends Service Committee and Clamshell Alliance veteran
• Cathy W. Wolff, Clamshell Alliance veteran and owner of Foreside Communications in Kittery, Maine
• Mark Hertsgaard, independent author and journalist
