My good friend died today. Sister Ardeth Platte. An angel. She went to jail/prison over 30 times for protesting against nuclear weapons. She was a character on Orange is the New Black. She was the most kind and humble person I have ever met.

I’m heartbroken by the passing of Sister Ardeth Platte. I’m struggling to find something eloquent enough to express what she meant for me & many in this movement. She was one of the bravest activists I know & I’m so sad because the world needs more people like her, not less.

Tender Sister Ardeth Platte, OP died last night. You’ll soon see stories of her heroic life of peace activism. I cherish memories of her talking to me about Jesus while we were both handcuffed, telling me of reading Acts of the Apostles in jail, & emails of her beloved garden.

I was so sad to hear about the death of Sr. Ardeth Platte, OP, today. The nun on Orange is the New Black was based on her and her radical witness for peace. I did a really fun interview with Ardeth about it back in 2015. May her memory be a revolution
