Swords Into Plowshares: Peace Activism in the US


Listen Later

Two activists in the Catholic Worker movement share with us how they live lives of simplicity, perform works of mercy and resist war in a country where the military is the number 1 employer. Sister Mary Denis Lentsch and Steve Baggarly tell us stories of direct action and their inspiration for not just talking about peace, but literally getting in the way of the war machine and the nuclear-industrial-complex. We also get a brief update on the release from prison of the three "Transform Now Plowshares" activists, who were serving time for their brave action at the Y-12 nuclear weapons facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.   "The Pentagon in reality is covered in blood, so to throw blood on it is more of an accurate depiction of what is really there"- Steve Baggarly.Produced by Em and Gem.
