On September 9, 1980, the Plowshares Eight entered a General
Electric plant in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and enacted the
biblical command to "beat swords into plowshares" by hammering on
the nose cones of two nuclear warheads and pouring blood on
documents. Since that time, other small groups and individuals have
entered manufacturing plants and military bases throughout the
U.S., as well as in Australia, Germany, England, Ireland, Sweden,
and Holland, to disarm components of nuclear and conventional
weapons systems. As of Spring 2003 there have been over 150 people
who, using hammers and other symbols, have carried out over 75
plowshares and related disarmament actions.This book recounts each
of the actions that have occurred over the last twenty-three years
and includes information about the trials and sentences plowshares
activists have received. Photos of some of the actions and
participants are also included in this chronology as well as other
resources for peace and justice.
