Clare Grady reports to prison – Kings Bay Plowshares update

Here is a short video which is a blessing and a tune for Clare as she begins her prison sentence from Emma O’Grady (a cousin from Galway, Ireland), Oona Grady (a niece from Saratoga Springs) and James Gascoyne. Thank you to them! We know that Clare would want us to widen this circle of thoughts and prayer to include all prisoners.

Clare Grady started her prison sentence on Wednesday, February 10. She is one of the Kings Bay Plowshares 7 who entered the Trident nuclear submarine base in Georgia almost three years ago on April 4, 2018, to nonviolently and symbolically disarm omnicidal nuclear weapons. Her daughters, Leah and Rosie, and husband, Paul, drove Clare 11 hours from Ithaca, NY to West Virginia where they met at the prison gate with Clare’s sister, Teresa, dear friend Chrissy Nesbitt, and Chrissy’s husband David. She’ll be in COVID quarantine for the next 2 to 3 weeks so we most likely won’t hear from her during this period of isolation. She can receive letters, though, and her address is below:

Clare Grady #01264-052

FPC Alderson

Federal Prison Camp

Glenn Ray Road, Box A

Alderson, WV 24910

Please remember to write your return address on the letter, as Clare and the other KBP7 members in prison won’t receive the envelope.
