The Prophets of Oakridge

We found out about these modern-day prophets while staying at the Washington, DC Catholic Worker community. One of their own, Michael Robin Walli, was currently imprisoned due to this protest action. During our stay, we signed a card that was to be sent to him.

"Last summer, in the dead of night, three peace activists penetrated the exterior of Y-12 in Tennessee, supposedly one of the most secure nuclear-weapons facilities in the United States. A drifter, an 82-year-old nun and a house painter. They face trial next week on charges that fall under the sabotage section of the U.S. criminal code. And if they had been terrorists armed with explosives, intent on mass destruction? That nightmare scenario underlies the government’s response to the intrusion. This is the story of two competing worldviews, of conscience vs. court, of fantasy vs. reality, of history vs. the future"
