December 29, 2008 – As part of a group of 60 people from the Atlantic Life Community, three mothers, Heidi Schloegel, Ellen Grady, and Clare Grady, were arrested outside the Israeli embassy. The group was petitioning embassy officials for an end to Israeli air strikes on Gaza. The three approached the embassy gate singing “Peace, Salaam, Shalom” and holding signs which read, “Peace. Stop the killing,” and “Stop the war on the children.” They knelt and prayed before being arrested. The three mothers were held over night, and appeared for arraignment in Superior Court of the District of Columbia
