Biography

Libby Johnson participated in the August 2004 anti-nuclear demonstrations at the Y-12 weapons complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. After a march and blockade, Libby Johnson remained in Anderson County Jail rather than post bail. The court imposed ten days for the protest. The jail term was completed with credit for pretrial detention.

Art Laffin’s March 26, 2016 account individually names Libby Johnson among four people arrested on Good Friday, March 25, while carrying a cross and praying on the Pentagon sidewalk. They were taken to the Pentagon Police processing center and released after several hours, with notices charging failure to comply with a lawful order. A May 19 hearing was prospective. Police processing is not independently a jail admission or a completed day in prison. Contemporary participant report, The Nuclear Resister.
