Ken Fogarty, Kings Bay Plowshares 7 (KBP7) supporter at the gate of the Trident nuclear sub base in St. Mary’s, GA, on the 74th Anniversary of the Hiroshima / Nagasaki memorial; “Once you have a hammer, you want to hit. For that war crime that was committed, I want to say I’m sorry. I recognize the guilt of the war crime my culture committed against others. Clare Grady, my very good friend, and the KBP7 were compelled to do their action because of their deeply held religious beliefs, that is our duty to protect God’s creation.” Aug. 6, 2019

Nearly 100 supporters of the Kings Bay Plowshares 7 gathered on August 6-9 in Southeast Georgia to fast and vigil at the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base. The base is home to 6 US Trident nuclear submarines and services 4 others from Britain. On August 7th, the KBP7 codefendants and their attorneys argued against the dismissal of pre-trial motions using RFRA (Religious Freedom Restoration Act) before a Federal judge in Brunswick. They stressed the omnicidal capacity of the Trident Fleet and the clear necessity of sacramental action. On-site supporters included actor/activist Martin Sheen; large numbers followed the events from elsewhere in the U.S., simultaneously observing the 74th Anniversary of the US bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Judge Lisa Godbey Wood set the trial date, starting with jury selection on Oct. 21, 2019.
