The Kings Bay Plowshares 7 Sentencing is scheduled for May 28 and 29, 2020 for the Trident Disarmament Action Against Nuclear Weapons.
Seven activists symbolically disarmed a Trident submarine on April 4, 2018 at a naval base in Kings Bay Georgia.
On May 28th, Carmen Trotta of the NYC- St. Joseph House Catholic Worker, Mark Colville of the New Haven, Amistad Catholic Worker, and Clare Grady of the Ithaca Catholic Worker will be sentenced in the Southern District Federal Court of Brunswick, Georgia.
On May 29th, Fr. Steve Kelly, S.J. held for the last 2 years in GA county jails (and who would welcome notes from us on US Post Office postcards); Martha Hennessy of the NYC Mary House Catholic Worker, a granddaughter of Dorothy Day, founder of the Catholic Worker movement; Elizabeth (Liz) McAlister of Baltimore’s Jonah House and the widow of Phil Berrigan, and Patrick O’Neill of the Garner, N.C. Catholic Worker; will also be sentenced by the same court.
From their mission statement: “Nuclear weapons eviscerate the rule of law, enforce white supremacy, perpetuate endless war and environmental destruction and ensure impunity for all manner of crimes against humanity. Dr. King said, “The ultimate logic of racism is genocide.” We say, “The ultimate logic of Trident is omnicide.” A just and peaceful world is possible when we join prayers with action. Swords into Plowshares!”
