In 1848 the first Women’s Rights Convention had been held in Seneca Falls, New York; in 1983 women chose the nearby Seneca Army Depot as the site for the Women’s Encampment for a Future of Peace and Justice.
According to their vision statement, “Once again women are gathering at Seneca – this time to challenge the nuclear threat at its doorstep. The Seneca Army Depot, a Native American homeland once nurtured and protected by the Iroquois, is now the storage site for the neutron bomb and most likely the Pershing II missile and is the departure point for weapons to be deployed in Europe.”
Thousands of women came to Seneca and 350 women were arrested for actions at the base.
Many WRL women were involved, and the WRL Southeast Regional Office organized a Women’s Peace Walk from Durham, NC, to the Women’s Peace Encampment.
