They have participated in major disarmament initiatives and interacted with those who profit from nuclear weapons\, those who guard them\, and those who suffer the consequences of U.S. investment in them. Their activism has merited accolades and incarceration. By their own estimate\, the women have together spent a total of 15 years in some 40 jails and prisons. Fiercely committed\, they remain dispassionate teachers… “[Now] For much of the year\, Platte and Gilbert are hopping buses and crossing the country [and the same in Europe] to give presentations  on the [United Nations] nuclear weapons ban treaty. [and continue to get arrested]” \nhttps://www.globalsistersreport.org/news/people/religious-life/news/two-dominican-sisters-master-class-why-bomb-bad\n \nDominican Srs. Ardeth Platte\, left\, and Carol Gilbert protest a military base planned for Okinawa\, Japan\, in front of the White House Feb. 27.

He is author of Short Time: A Season’s Prison Journal \n\n\nAnanya Singh – NJ Student climate activist – CEO of Greening Forward\n\nAs a high school student with a passion for activism\, she has been working with a variety of organizations locally and nationally for the past 3 years\, focusing on environmental causes and climate change. I’ve been a part of community outreach teams\, written proposals and blog posts\, facilitated workshops and trainings\, and developed an understanding of the functionings of non-profit organizations and social movements. \n\n\n \n\n
