Ardeth Platte
Platte is most famously known for breaching a nuclear missile site in Colorado with fellow Dominican nuns Sister Carol Gilbert and Sister Jackie Hudson. Snipping through the chain-link fence using bolt cutters, Platte and the other nuns poured blood out of a baby bottle in the shape of a cross on a nuclear silo to remember victims of war. They then unfurled a peace banner, reciting a prayer, “Oh God, help us to be peacemakers in this hostile world.” For these actions, Platte was sent to prison in Danbury, Connecticut, where she stayed for 41 months.
