Holy Tagging at Y-12

Dear Friends,

The three Holy Taggers of the Transform Now Plowshares – Greg, Megan and Michael – recently released evidence photos that make clear the real issues behind their July 28th Plowshares action at Y-12.  These three people of flesh and blood approached the fortress where uranium intended for nuclear weapons is stored.  They brought with them their blood, hammers, spray paint and crime scene tape.  They symbolically chipped away at the abomination that humans have made.  They poured out their own blood – that others may live.  Their holy graffiti is a clear message to the powers and principalities to repent, and turn away from the machinations of death making; choose life!  And of course the CRIME SCENE tape reminds us that the real crime here is the U.S. Goernment’s threat or use of nuclear weapons.

Susan is FREE!!!

(This just in from Margo Shafer; many thanks Margo!!!)

Susan walked out of FCI-Dublin this morning at 8:45 with no strings attached. Marti Mogensen and I were there to greet her. After a brief stop at a Starbucks for a coffee fix, we drove straight to Redwood City to the catholic worker where she was warmly welcomed. Here’s a photo of her on the outside! It all went very smoothly with no glitches.

Susan’s upcoming release… and a poem

Dear Friends,

Susan Crane will walk out of the Dublin Federal Correctional Institution on October 19th.

Memories of Anne M., by Brad Lyttle

I first met Anne Montgomery at the project, ‘The Walk for a Peaceful Future,” in Israel, in 1992. She was a slight woman, and had a chronic limp, but it was evident from the first that she had great energy, and did not permit her handicap to limit her activities.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

TNP to U.S. Government: Cease and Desist (Preparing for the Unspeakable)
