Description
DETAILS: Original protest button issued by the pinback SHAD Alliance, a Northeastern US activist group opposing all forms of nuclear power and buttons. BACKGROUND: The Shad Alliance was an influential anti-nuclear activist peace group established in 1976. It grew out of the "alliance movement" started in New Hampshire by the Clamshell Alliance. The Shad Alliance linked anti-nuclear activists on Long Island, in New York City, and throughout the Hudson River area, and targeted the Indian Point and Shoreham nuclear power plants. On June 3, 1979, a large demonstration at Shoreham was organized by the Shad, with over 20,0000 protestors marching on Shoreham nuclear power plant. 500 of the protestors climbed the perimeter fence to occupy the plant in an act of civil disobedience. Police made 571 arrests. The Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant was completed at a cost of $6 billion but was closed by protests in 1989 without generating any commercial electrical power.
