Hiroshima, Fukushima, Sacramento, Livermore - Confronting the Two 
Headed Nuclear Dragon
by Carol Brouillet
Wednesday Jul 20th, 2011 1:49 PM
Nuclear Power was the happy face designed to sell and conceal the 
horror of nuclear weapons. Chernobyl, Fukushima should alert humanity 
and put a halt to the nuclear madness, but the full truth has yet to 
reach general consciousness. Rising global opposition to nuclear 
power needs to manifest in action, opposition, legislation, the 
actual shut down of the nuclear industry. People are most harmed by 
the nuclear industry and only real people can stop it. Jacqueline 
Cabasso, Executive Director of the Western States Legal Foundation, 
has been on the frontlines of this struggle for thirty years. Hear 
her, join her in Sacramento, in Livermore, as she confronts the two 
headed nuclear dragon, again and again.

Hear Jacquie Cabasso speak on 
<http://www.communitycurrency.org/>Community Currency Radio on the 
<http://www.progressiveradionetwork.com/>Progressive Radio Network 
this Thursday from 2 pm to 3 pm on From Hiroshima to Fukushima to 
Livermore: Confronting the Two-Headed Dragon of Nuclear Weapons and 
Nuclear Power

Jacqueline Cabasso has been involved in nuclear disarmament, peace 
and environmental advocacy at the local, national and international 
levels for over 30 years. Since 1984 she has served as Executive 
Director of the Western States Legal Foundation in Oakland. Grounded 
in commitments to nonviolence and international law, in her work with 
the Foundation she has provided legal support for nonviolent 
protesters; engaged in environmental review proceedings and 
litigation to challenge nuclear programs, and organized grassroots 
multi-issue coalitions.

Most recently, she has spoken out at rallies and hearings in support 
of the Japanese and American people to shut down nuclear power 
plants, particularly those on active faults, and against the twin 
nuclear weapons industry. At hearings before the Public Utilities 
Commission, in San Francisco, PG&E has been lobbying for an 
additional $85 million in public funds to relicense the Diablo Canyon 
Nuclear Power Plant, while activists and watchdog organizations have 
spoken in favor of not renewing licenses or facilitating the life of 
aging nuclear power plants on faults, but on closing the plants to 
safeguard human and environmental health. The Fukushima disaster has 
shown how woefully inadequate the nuclear industry is to foresee, 
safeguard, remedy disasters, accidents, earthquakes. The Nuclear 
Industry has continued to promote nuclear technology, but 
continuously failed to "self-regulate" and protect the health and 
safety of workers, the public, and the environment. The continued 
outpouring of radiation from Fukushima, and the failure of the 
Japanese and American governments to adequately monitor and inform 
people of the amounts of radioactivity now present in the air, water, 
milk and food now threatening their health, highlights the need to 
rein in the industry. Only the mobilization of the public against 
powerful entrenched political interests can turn the tide. With 
renewed concern over the threat of nuclear power and weapons, many 
anti-nuclear events are coming up in the Bay Area, including-
