November 2025 Newsletter

Welcome to the first fall newsletter of the revived 21^st century Clamshell Alliance! As you may know, a group of seasoned Clams has been meeting monthly for a few years and has recently developed an up-to-date website at clamshellalliance.com, filled with news and interesting insights into nuclear power and the global surge of renewable energy.

This newsletter contains a host of stories on the continued resistance to nuclear power locally and nationwide. You can read about current attempts to ‘revive’ nuclear power in the US and how people are fighting to stop it. We include perspectives from labor and Indigenous activists, updates on the nuclear waste issue, progress on offshore wind in the northeast and an important action alert from Massachusetts, among other topics. Please pass this information on and invite others to join our contact list.

We want to expand the reach of the anti-nuclear power message through social media and other avenues, and we want to be able to pay for the website and its upkeep. So we urge everyone reading this to consider a $100 tax exempt donation to further the work. Or more or less, whatever you can afford. You can contribute online or by check. Please click on clamshellalliance.com/donate or write a check to our fiscal sponsor, the Institute for Social Ecology (with Clamshell Alliance clearly indicated in the memo line) and mail it to the ISE at P.O. Box 48, Plainfield, VT 05667.

Besides keeping our new website updated, we have recently helped launch a new antinuclear coalition in Massachusetts (see article below), supported showings of Eric Wolfe’s new documentary, “Acres of Clams,” and begun working to revive a national activist network. Your donation will support these and more efforts like them over the coming year.

Let’s work together to put the brakes on the escalating nuclear insanity!

No Nukes!

PS: Please check out the latest addition to the website, a “Clam Tales” page featuring 38 short videos of Clam activists sharing unique personal stories of individuals and events from the Clamshell Alliance’s history. These are mainly outtakes from interviews filmed by Steve Thornton and edited by Eric Wolfe.
