Jonah House is a resistance community based in Baltimore. It was founded by Liz McAlister & the late Phil Berrigan in 1975 out of the expperiences of the draft board raid movement of the ant-Vietnam period. It pretty much gave rise to the plowshares movement in 1980 and has nourished many plowshares communities. Bill Frankel-Streit was arrested with me on the eve of the last Gulf War disarming a B-52 Bomber in upstate New York - it was put oout of action for the length of the Gulf War. We all received a year in prison. Bill is back in jail for resisting this war. The 3 Dominican nuns have recently been found guilty of sabotage for a weapons inspection and a disarmament action on an ICBM missile silo in Colarado. Every Easter Jonah House and Catholic Worker comunities gather in D.C. to carry oput nonvioelnet resistance at the White House, read full story / add a comment |
