Biography
Sally Kearsley was jailed during the 1981 anti-nuclear actions at the White House. The December 12, 1981 National No-Nukes Prison Support Collective newsletter identifies her among six Jonah House protesters held at the D.C. Detention Center and reports a thirty-day sentence connected with holding anti-nuclear banners. Her exact admission and release dates remain unverified.

April 1981 White House conviction report
The October 30 issue individually names this defendant among five convicted for pouring blood at the White House on April 15,1981, with destruction of federal property and unlawful-entry charges. Veasey alone took immediate sentencing; Mike Miles, John Sheils, Karl Smith and Sally Kearsley were scheduled for November 19 sentencing. That future hearing is not recorded as an event that already occurred. This report supplies no individual physical jail-admission or release endpoint for the April case and does not merge it with a later banner, Pentagon or Plowshares prosecution.
