Martha Hennessy Anti-Nuclear Weapons Talk

Past event
Mar 18, 2020, 7 to 8 PM

On April 4th, 2018, Martha Hennessy and 6 other Catholic activists, calling themselves the Kings Bay Plowshares, met on Kings Bay Naval Base in Georgia where they broke in and performed a non-violent protest of symbolically hammering on statues of nuclear missiles, pouring blood, and hanging banners with messages against these weapons. The book they intentionally left behind was Daniel Ellsberg's The Doomsday Machine.

Please join us for a discussion with Ms. Hennessy and learn more about her actions, her impetus, and her work to change the world.
