Nuns Against Nuclear Weapons: Plowshares Protesters have Fought for Disarmament for Over 40 Years, Going to Prison for Peace

Since 1980, there have been over 100 actions in support of nuclear disarmament by Plowshare nuns in the U.S., the U.K. and Europe. The name comes from the Bible: “They shall beat their swords into plowshares … nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”
