The Seneca Women's Peace Camp was modeled after the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp in England where for 19 years women in England nonviolently protested the deployment of U.S. cruise missiles.
In the summer of 1983, twelve thousand women from around the world participated in nonviolence training, direct actions and civil disobedience at Seneca Depot which was a storage site and departure point for Cruise and Pershing II missiles bound for Europe.
A website dedicated to the history of the encampment is at:

This blog is dedicated to stories of protest and resistance, calls for nuclear disarmament, remembering those who have made and do make significant contributions to peace.
These are extraordinary stories. It has been an honor and privilege to recruit the material for the blog as a United for Peace and Justice project for Nuclear-Free Future Month and Peace and Planet Summer.
