Activists protest proposed voter-free approval for nuclear facilities

On 2026-04-13, activists and energy safety advocates lobbied Massachusetts senators in Boston to reject a House energy bill provision that would facilitate nuclear power development without voter approval. The action was a peaceful protest-style lobbying effort by coalition groups including the Sierra Club, Clamshell Alliance, Our Revolution Massachusetts, Save Our Bay Massachusetts, Mass. Power Forward, and Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility.
