Lougheed is in Boston to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his graduation from the Business School...
...over, things are brewing. I live in the suburbs of Boston where for years there was virtually no awareness of the nuclear issue. After TMI an antinuclear group formed in my town, and now half a dozen affinity groups from the area make up the Central Massachusetts cluster. The participants range from high school students to grandmothers. An extremely diverse group of people have been calling in to offer their help and advice, including apple pickers, parents of small children, doctors, nurses and medical students, food cooperatives, Native American groups and even General Electric workers. We seem to have reached...
...nuclear issue is a national one, because a Seabrook meltdown would threaten residents of Newburyport and Boston as well as Seabrook itself.

Boston high school students are also getting involved. Harvard, which was rather poorly represented at the 1977 civil disobedience action, will send five...
...need all the help we can get. If you do not want to occupy, you can help by doing important support work in Boston or at the legal campsite on the coast near Seabrook. Without this work the occupation will fail. We need drivers, office staffers, medics, people to gather food, supplies and money to keep the occupation going. We need people to join the occupation to replace those who will have to leave. And we need leafletters and canvassers to explain the nature of our action to others, and to join in a mass unobtrusive picket at the plant...
