As we reported in our last email, seven Catholic disarmament activists entered the Kings Bay nuclear submarine base in St. Mary's, Georgia, on the night of April 4 in a Plowshares action protesting nuclear weapons. They have been denied bond and are being held at the Camden County Detention Facility in Woodbine, Georgia. Federal charges are expected in the coming weeks.
You may support the Kings Bay Plowshares activists in the following ways:
1. Write postcards - They can receive and send only plain white postcards from the post office with the printed stamp, not a stamp pasted on. The address is: Camden County Detention Facility, P.O. Box 699, Woodbine, GA 31569. Use their prisoner number after their name:
Carmen Trotta 65203
