“Living, Mothering, Resisting” with Molly Rush

Molly Rush, mother of six and Co-Founder of the Thomas Merton Center for Peace and Justice in Pittsburgh, was a member of the Plowshares Eight.

In 1980 they entered a General Electric plant in King of Prussia and hammered on nose cones of nuclear weapons. We were arrested, tried and convicted. Philip and Fr. Daniel Berrigan participated. The film In the King of Prussia is a reenactment of the trial.

Ms. Rush has been arrested about 20 times for taking part in non-violent protests.

She will discuss what she’s learned in her more than fifty years of activism.
