Kings Bay Plowshares Seven activist Elizabeth McAlister was sentenced Monday to time served and a $25-a-month fine for her involvement in a peaceful act of civil disobedience against the U.S. Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Georgia on April 4, 2018. “I acted because I had to follow my conscience and my faith,” McAlister told federal Judge Lisa Godbey Wood at her sentencing hearing. McAlister is one of seven activists who defaced and superficially damaged buildings at the base, which houses Trident nuclear missiles. An 80-year-old longtime Catholic activist, McAlister was married to Philip Berrigan and founded Jonah House, a community for nonviolent resistance, in the 1970s.
