"Woolford, along with his wife, Lenore Yarger, and her sister, Lisa Yarger, were sitting in a coffee shop a block away and an hour before the planned sit-in last week. They were three of the five who'd decided to be arrested. Woolford and his wife live in Silk Hope in a Catholic Worker house, an intentional community where people share what they have, embrace simplicity and commit to serve the poor."Steve and Lenore talked awhile longer about the Catholic Worker movement, which started in the '30s and has no official connection to Roman Catholicism. CW lives on the church's radical social side--easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter heaven, remember?--and tunes out the rest."

What will she likely talk about?
In her own words:
"In the last week I spent more time that usual listening to the radio and reading the hawkish rhetoric and unsubstantiated claims of people like Donald Rumsfeld, George W. Bush, and North Carolina Senator John Edwards. I've been overwhelmed by shock and horror at the deceptiveness, the arrogance, that these leaders of the US empire, bent on getting the invasion they want. I feel a rage, both at them and at a media that doesn't ask the hard, obvious questions. And I feel deeply saddened, I feel miserable thinking about the people of Iraq, already so beaten down, barely surviving after nearly twelve years of war with the United States. I'm saddened that many US leaders pushing their military action, like the president, call themselves Christian."

What are her credentials?
"Catholic Workers Lenore Yarger and Chris Schweitzer exceeded the limits when they knelt with a banner reading "Hiroshima Never Again!" and recited the prayer of St. Francis with the others. The two were arrested, cited and released."

Google search on "Lenore Yarger" turns up tons of background information. Were I a parent at Southeast Raleigh High School, I would be there with camera rolling.
