Beckhorn, Susan Williams, 1953-

Susan Beckhorn was involved with the successful struggle to keep New York State from locating its low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) dump in Allegany County. She was a member and served as co-chair for one year of the Concerned Citizens of Allegany County (CCAC), member of Allegany County Nonviolent Action Group (ACNAG), and member of the protest band, the BANDITS (Band Against Nuclear Dumps in This State). She wrote many of the band's songs and her guitar was signed by Pete Seeger while at a Labor and the Environment Conference where he and the Clearwater Revival Singers sang a song with her. She created many protest flyers, spoke and sang at protests, and was part of several meetings with the New York State Governor, Mario Cuomo, and the LLRW Siting Commission.
