Activists Arrested at Sisters’ Witness go to Trial Friday, 12/5

Posted on December 1, 2008

On August 8th, 2008, following a silent prayer vigil at the gate of Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado Springs, CO, three women—Esther Kisamore, Mary Ann Cunningham SL, and Barbara Huber SC (all pictured above, left to right) crossed the LINE at the Peterson gate. They entered the base in order to deliver a letter to General Robert Kahler challenging him to realize the immorality of war. Needless to say, the three women were arrested and taken into custody. They will be going to trial on Friday, December 5th, at 8:15 AM in the Municipal Court of Colorado Springs.  As members of the global community, let us stand in solidarity with these valiant women and support them with our prayer, good wishes, and presence if possible.
