SUMMARY:"No to Nuclear" book talk
DESCRIPTION:Join us on September 8th at 7 p.m. at the Clapp Memorial Library in Belchertown\, MA\, for a special presentation of the new book No To Nuclear: Why Nuclear Power Destroys Lives\, Derails Climate Progress and Provokes War\, with author Linda Pentz Gunter. \nThe climate crisis is very clearly upon us. The nuclear power industry would like us to believe it is the answer. But who pays the price for that choice? \nNo To Nuclear blasts aside claims that nuclear power is safe\, green\, and affordable\, revealing a predatory and exploitative industry beneath the PR veneer. \nThe book not only makes the irresistible case that nuclear power is too slow\, too expensive\, too dangerous and too integrally connected to the nuclear weapons complex\, it also delves into the lives of Indigenous peoples and communities of color\, who have been harmed the most by the nuclear sector. \nAnd it questions whether the way we devalue nature\, the environment and the other animals with whom we share this planet\, is costing us the chance of a genuinely just energy transition. \nLinda Pentz Gunter is the founder of the US-based non-profit Beyond Nuclear and serves as its Executive Director. She also launched and writes for her organization’s news platform\, Beyond Nuclear International. A former journalist with Reuters\, she currently writes for the Morning Star (UK) and Ralph Nader’s Capitol Hill Citizen.

SUMMARY:Silencing the Women: The Witch Trials of Mary Bliss Parsons
DESCRIPTION:Silencing the Women: The Witch Trials of Mary Bliss Parsons – A Book Talk with Kathy-Ann Becker \nStep into the true story of a woman accused of witchcraft in 17th century New England in a saga that spans our own valley and hills. On Tuesday\, October 27 at 7pm at the Clapp Memorial Library\, you are invited to a presentation and discussion with descendant Kathy-Ann Becker of her story\, Silencing the Women: The Witch Trials of Mary Bliss Parsons. Becker’s talk will explore how fear\, gendered politics\, and theology mixed with governance\, justice\, and gossip to create a climate where accusations of witchcraft embedded into a culture of blame-targeting\, social tension\, and the silencing of voices. There are lessons from such times of despair which impact our legacy and shed light on our abilities to courageously balance our abilities to create havens of hope and human bonds of redemption and love.
