They will also speak on divesting military funding to serve human needs during COVID-19 and beyond. \n  \nCarmen Trotta of NYC St. Joseph House Catholic Worker; Mark Colville of New Haven\, CT Amistad C.W.; Clare Grady of Ithaca C.W.; Fr. Steve Kelly\, S.J.

Charlie Mulholland C.W. in Garner\, N.C. The sentencing recommendations call for 18 months for Liz McAlister (already served 17 months)\, up to 47 months for Steve Kelly (served two years)\, and up to 27 months for the others. We do not know at this time if the sentencing will take place in person on May 28 and 29 in the Brunswick\, GA courtroom or remotely by video conferencing. \n  \nThe Kings Bay Plowshares 7 are scheduled for sentencing for their nonviolent symbolic disarmament action at the largest nuclear sub-base in the world\, on April 4th\, 2018. Kings Bay is the Atlantic home port to a fleet of Trident submarines that contain one-quarter of the U.S. deployed nuclear weapons. Their action occurred on April 4\, 2018\, the 50th anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. \n  \nIt’s time to wash our hands of Trident\, to demand that money should be directed towards health care for all\, particularly during the COVID-19\, for all future pandemics\, for all human needs\, and to cut funding for the military. The next generation of Trident submarines will cost $1.2 Trillion over the next ten years. The Nobel Prize-winning International Campaign for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) has pointed out that the U.S. spent $35.1 billion on nuclear weapons in 2019. This could have provided: 300\,000 intensive care beds\, 35\,000 ventilators\, and the salaries for 150\,000 nurses and 75\,000 doctors. Furthermore\, if only a small portion of conventional weapons spending were redirected many more resources could be available to provide for the rest of the world’s survival needs rather than the endless wars our government pursues now. Our world would discover its real security lies in shared humanity\, not in nationalist arrogance or domination. \n  \nAction Items \nCall Congress to redirect funding from the military\, particularly Trident\, towards human needs.

See below: \nBefore COVID 19 a group of us here in Norfolk\, Virginia\, had been planning to do a five day\, 55 mile Holy Week pilgrimage for nuclear disarmament. It would be a week-long stations of the cross in this 75th year since the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki\, the beginning of the Nuclear Age. We were planning to walk Monday to Friday to 14 different sites in our Hampton Roads area that are connected to the nuclear weapons complex (military bases\, shipyards\, war industries\, and financial institutions) and at each location remember Jesus’ crucifixion\, the crucifixion of Hiroshima and Nagasaki\, and the threatened crucifixion of all of life by nuclear weapons. We would begin at a General Dynamics shipyard in downtown Norfolk and end at Newport News Shipbuilding where the Columbia class ballistic missile submarines are under development as replacement for the Trident submarine fleet. A script cobbled together from many sources would be read from at each site.\nSince we are unable to walk together\, Linda Modica in east Tennessee\, brand new host of a Zoom platform\, has offered to be the moderator for a community reading of the script over the five weekdays of Holy Week. We will gather on the Zoom site each day at 7 pm EST\, Monday\, April 6-Friday\, April 10. Each day we will read several stations from the script\, ending with a rosary mystery written by Kings Bay Plowshares defendant Fr. Steve Kelly from his cell-block in Glynn County Detention Center in Brunswick\, Georgia\, and then a few minutes for short reflections. We will finish by 8:15 pm EST each day\, with Good Friday taking a little longer. We can use at least a dozen readers a day\, if you’d like to read come onto the site by 6:50 pm EST to sign up.\nYou are welcome to join us for any part of the pilgrimage. Come and go as you like. The 61 page script is attached for you to use if you’d like to be a reader or to follow along on Zoom\, or if you’d just like to take the pilgrimage by yourself or with your household this week on your own time. Tomorrow we’ll begin by reading stations 1 and 2. The Norfolk Catholic Worker is organizing a five day\, 50 mile Stations of the Cross to mark 75 years since the advent of the nuclear age and the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. From April 5-10 participants will walk through 6 Hampton Roads cities stopping at military bases\, shipyards\, defense contractors\, and financial institutions with ties to the nuclear war-fighting complex.

El juicio puede durar una semana. Los acusados pueden recibir condena de 25 años! \nEl grupo KBP7 activo simbólicamente y sin violencia el Submarino Trident y sus armas nucleares omnicidas que amenazan TODA vida en esta Tierra. El grupo KBP7 siguió al llamado del profeta Isaías a ‘transformar espadas en arados.” Las armas nucleares en Trident pueden matar a 14 billones de personas. Hay apenas 7 billones de personas en el mundo. Clique: Vea el testimonio de KBP7. \nEl grupo KBP7 hizo la acción en el aniversario de 50 años del asesinato patrocinado por el estado del Reverendo Dr. King\, para darle atención al trabajo de el para conectar los puntos entre el RACISMO\, el Extremo MATERIALISMO\, y el MILITARISMO.  La nieta de Dorothy Day\, Martha Hennessy\, y la viuda de Phil Berrigan\, Liz McAlister\, junto con Clare Grady\, Patrick O’Neil\, Carmen Trotta\, Padre Steve Kelly\, y Mark Colville son del grupo Catholic Workers. Liz tiene 80 años de edad\, Padre Steve\, 70\, y Mark\, 58\, y han esperado un ano y medio en la cárcel en Brunswick\, Georgia por el juicio que ahora es el dia 21 de octubre. Los otros han salido de la cárcel\, con monitores en los tobillos\, en condiciones de extrema restricción\, y pago de fianza. \n Los invitamos a todos a compartir este mensaje profético. La abolición de armas nucleares tiene que ser proclamada para poner freno de emergencia a la crisis climática!  Estos dos temas están inextricablemente relacionados. \n___________________________ \n Trident\, El Arma Cargado\, Ejecutor de la Supremacia Blanca y el Capitalismo\, MATA todos los dias. Cliquen aquí para ver la entrevista de 2 minutos con Clare Grady. \nClare dice: “toda la mineria\, refineria\, prueba\, y vertimiento de armas nucleares es hecha en el territorio de pueblos indígenas desde los años 1940. Trident cuesta $1.2 trillones de dólares y representa el robo a los pobres. Si yo estoy con arma amartillada en su cabeza\, no estoy ya usando el arma? \nTrident es el arma cargada siendo usada en contra la cabeza de todo el planeta! Es el Ejecutor de la supremacía blanca y capitalismo\, que mata el pueblo hoy\, y todos los días. Trident es el coronamiento de la violencia del estado\, desde las guerras intervencionistas de EEUU\, hacia la matanza policial de la población afro-decendente\, latinx\, indígena en EEUU\, en todas fronteras\, prisiones\, y centros de detención. Es nuestro trabajo desarmar estas armas! \n  \n  URL:https://kingsbayplowshares7.org/event/festival-of-hope-nyc/ LOCATION:Holyrood Episcopal Church ~  Iglesia Santa Cruz 715 West 179 St.\, NY\, NY 10033        \, 715 West 179 St. \, New York\, NY\, 10033\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190922T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190922T180000 DTSTAMP:20190912T051742Z CREATED:20190912T044932Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190912T051742Z UID:3007-1569160800-1569175200@kingsbayplowshares7.org SUMMARY:NYC Sept.22-People's Mobilization to Stop the US War Machine & Save the Planet DESCRIPTION:NYC\, 2 pm\, Sunday\, September 22\nYou can’t change the Climate Crisis without abolishing Militarism.
