She participated in Plowshares Number Four (1982) and acted alone in the 1988 Credo Plowshares, where she hammered and poured blood on a Textron Defense System MX missile display at the Air Force Association Arms Bazaar at the Sheraton-Washington Hotel, leaving her own creed of life and faith in response to the bazaar's slogan "Freedom: A Creed To Believe In."
