Biography
Martina Linnehan was one of the GE Three anti-nuclear protesters prosecuted following an October 1982 action at General Electric in Largo, Florida. Convicted with John Linnehan on May 18, 1983, the three returned to jail after sentencing on May 26. A later contemporary report confirms that all three were released in 1983; their exact release dates remain unverified.

Carol Mosley’s 2020 remembrance reports that John and Martina each served six months for the GE anti-nuclear protest. This is a rounded reported actual duration. They founded Metanoia Community in 1986 and later taught sustainable living through the Florida Coalition for Peace and Justice.
