Steve Kelly, SJ, reflects on the Disarm Now "Trident: Immoral and Illegal" Plowshares action that he was part of at the US Naval Base Bangor in Washington State. Steve and 4 others are going to trial Dec. 7, 2010. On November 2, 2009, Steve Kelly, SJ, Bill Bichsel, SJ, Anne Montgomery, RSCJ, Lynne Greenwald and Susan Crane brought boltcutters and hammers, sunflower seeds and hope and walked onto the submarine base in the Puget Sound area of Washington. They carried banners that read:Disarm Now Plowshares: Trident Illegal and Immoral.
Thank you Steve, after watching activists (like the Chilean economist Manfred Max-Neef, and others) who have come to the conclusion that the future is doomed. It is rare that we our asked to to do something that is within our means, that will make a difference. I really appreciate that.
