WHAT: This unprecedented event marks the one-year anniversary of the illegal seizure of antinuclear activist Nancy Burton’s herd of beautiful, healthy and much-loved goats – participants in the Mothers Milk Project () - ?by the State of Connecticut on bogus, illegal and false pretenses. Nancy is pursuing legal actions in court to free the goats! She and her goats need your support!

WHY: The goats are illegally confined in overcrowded and deplorable conditions; at least two of Nancy’s most-prized goats have died in state custody. They were healthy and happy when they were stolen by the State of Connecticut. This event will honor them and all their family members and press the State of Connecticut to release them all immediately to the qualified goat sanctuaries which Nancy selected more than one year ago to care for them for the duration of their natural lives. The alternative? Continuing cruelty and slaughter at the hands of the State of Connecticut.

WHEN: Thursday March 10, 2022 at 12 Noon

Where: Entrance to Connecticut Department of Agriculture Large Animal Facility located on the “campus” of York Correctional Institution, 201 West Main Street, Niantic (East Lyme), Connecticut 06357

If we are asked to leave, the event will take place at the Liberty Green (intersection of Main Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, Niantic) overlooking Niantic Bay with a view toward Millstone Nuclear Power Station

Who: Nancy Burton, a former reporter for The Associated Press, practiced public-interest law for 20 years before being disbarred for her courageous judicial and governmental whistleblowing. Nevertheless, she was the Green Party’s candidate for CT attorney general in 2006. Among her many historic successes, she represented heroic environmental organizations in a successful lawsuit which resulted in a 10-day judicial shutdown of Millstone Unit 2 to spare indigenous fish larvae otherwise doomed to extinction by the nuclear plant’s water intake structures; she won a reversal of a corrupt condemnation order by the State of Connecticut; her successful appeal to the Connecticut Supreme Court led to the same-day order of release from prison of an innocent Black teenager, a victim of brutal racism practiced in Danbury, Connecticut. And so much more!
