Plowshares Movement
The Plowshares Movement is an anti-nuclear weapons and (mostly) Christian pacifist movement that advocates active resistance to war. The group often practices a form of symbolic protest that involves the damaging of weapons and military property. The movement gained notoriety in the early 1980s when several members damaged government property and were subsequently convicted. The name plowshares refers to the text of prophet Isaiah who said that weapons shall be beaten into plowshares.
==History==
Roman Catholicism has deeply influenced the U.S. Plowshares group. The movement takes its name from the idea of beating swords to ploughshares in the Book of Isaiah:
On September 9, 1980, Daniel Berrigan, his brother Philip Berrigan, and six others (the "Plowshares Eight") began the Plowshares Movement under the premise of beating swords to ploughshares.〔(A History of Direct Disarmament Actions )〕 They trespassed onto the General Electric Nuclear Missile facility in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, where they damaged nuclear warhead nose cones and poured blood onto documents and files. They were arrested and charged with more than ten different felony and misdemeanor counts.〔Commonwealth v. Berrigan, 501 A.2d 266, 509 Pa. 118 (1985). ()〕 On April 10, 1990, after 10 years of appeals, the Berrigans' group was re-sentenced and paroled for up to 23 and 1/2 months in consideration of time already served in prison.〔 Their legal battle was re-created in Emile de Antonio's 1982 film ''In the King of Prussia'',〔(In the King of Prussia ) review by Time Out〕 which starred Martin Sheen and featured appearances by the Plowshares Eight as themselves.〔(Yahoo Movie info )〕
