Decades Against Diablo with Mothers for Peace
After protesting the Vietnam War, the organization Mothers for Peace turned their attention to another social and environmental threat: nuclear weapons, power, and waste. They have been fighting the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant since 1973. Fifty years later, as California re-evaluates the future of Diablo Canyon, members Linda Seeley and Jane Swanson once again voice their concerns.
