 Letters of Support: Why are the peacemakers in prison?

Srs. Carol Gilbert, Jackie Hudson, and Ardeth Platte were sentenced to prison terms of 33 to 41 months for “sabotage”—damaging national defense materials. Their “crime” was to pour blood on, and then hammer, the steel rails of a nuclear missile silo lid. The women were not allowed to enter their defense that they were upholding international law which the U.S. government is bound to enforce. Please write letters of support to these nuclear resisters:

Sr. Jackie Hudson 08808-039 Sr. Carol Gilbert 10856-039 Sr. Ardeth Platte 10857-039
