racialamericana:“In April of 1988, nine women calling themselves the Princesses of Plutonium hiked (at night) undetected across the desert into the nation’s nuclear testing grounds. At dawn, dressed in radiation suits and death masks, the princesses handed out fliers to the incoming workers (at Yucca Flats) stating that “The area is contaminated, evacuate immediately.” The women were arrested and faced…six month jail sentence(s). Their performance, however, inspired hundreds of “copycat” invasions and arrests, which jammed the courts and ultimately resulted in the charges against the Princesses being dismissed.” - Richard Misrach (1987)Posted by Br!aan -- source link
