Longtime White House Protester Dies, After Vigil That Started In 1981

So many Americans don’t even take the time to vote for their beliefs. Protest is a core principle in a democratic society. Some people get it.

After devoting decades of her life to a cause – demonstrating for peace and against nuclear proliferation — Concepcion Picciotto has died. Persisting through cold and rough weather, she was a fixture outside the White House, where she was often called the president’s closest neighbor.

Her protest vigil is considered the longest in U.S. history. http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/01/26/464420101/longtime-white-house-protester-dies-after-vigil-that-started-in-1981?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=news Persisting through cold and rough weather, Concepcion Picciotto was a fixture outside the White House, where she was often called the president’s closest neighbor.
