"It's an honor to be here and get busted! We risk arrest to awaken
people from a kind of psychic numbing about the plant. We stand for an
alternative to the war economy; we try to temper the U.S. death wish
as an empire. Catholic Workers see people hungry; we feed them. We see
violence perpetrated by governments; we resist. It's just that simple.
It is not an accident that nine of the fourteen arrested come from
Midwest Catholic Worker communities. The Catholic Worker movement is a
radical lay movement in the USA Catholic Church. Pacifist and
nonviolent peace activist, we are best known for our houses of
hospitality were we do the Works of Mercy; feeding the hungry,
clothing the naked, sheltering the homeless and give drink to the
thirsty. We live and work daily with the poor who suffer directly from
the miss use of our national resources, directed towards making
nuclear bombs, keeping the rich rich and the poor poor. We know first
hand, that even if these god awful bombs are never used, they kill the
poor daily by denying them the resources needed to meet their most
basic needs." Frank Cordaro of the Phil Berrigan CW House in DM IA
