Greenfield Women's Day action demands end to war in Iraq

"Stop the War in Iraq, Stop the War on Women!"
About fifty Valley women and their supporters rallied on the Greenfield Town Common this afternoon in recognition of Women's Day and calling for an end to the U.S. war and occupation of Iraq. Among the group were members of the Raging Grannies who kept things lively with their songs oppossing the Bush regime, its illegal and immoral occupation of Iraq and bellicose actions world-wide, and in solidarity with women around the world

March and Rally against VT Yankee

A hundred or more demonstrators marched through the center of Brattleboro, VT this cold afternoon on their way to Entergy corporate headquarters north of town. The message they carried was the same one they've been bringing to the public, the corporados at Entergy (the Vernon nuclear power plant owner), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Vermont state officials for years: "Shut it Down!"

The Vernon nuke, located on the Connecticut River just south of town, is a threat to the health and safety of the community and the surrounding area. The 33 year old reactor leaks, it's highly radioactive storage pool is vulnerable to a terrorist attack, and perhaps most frightening of all the owners want to increase the power output.

Now, Entergy is going for reliscensing before the NRC so they can further threaten the CT River valley. YOUR help is needed at a public hearing in Brattleboro on Wednesday, March 1 at 7pm at the Latchis Theater, 50 Main Street. Shut it down!
