Kelly moved from neighborhood poverty issues to advocate nonviolence on a global scale. For her participation in planting corn in the soil above nuclear missile silos, a symbolic action intended to demonstrate the peaceful use of land, she was sentenced to nine months in federal prison. Ultimately,she found this a "liberating" experience because it helped her to face fear of coercion.
