What Happens When Activists Get Together?

What Happens When Activists Get Together?

Overview

Interested in effective citizen activism? Let's learn -- from the people who got an unsafe and too-expensive nuclear power plant cancelled.

In the 1980s, 20,000 people in Cincinnati opposed a nuclear power plant billions of dollars over budget with thousands of safety errors. Across differences, people rallied together around public safety and accountability—and won. The plant was cancelled.

Almost 40 years later, activists from the struggle are gathering to reminisce and share lessons of effective nonpartisan citizen activism. Join, listen, learn, and share.

Moderated by historian Alyssa McClanahan, who recently published a book on the plant and the protest surrounding it.

(There will be a limited number of signed copies of the book available at a 20% discount.)
