The national listener sponsored radio/tv show Democracy Now! has been following the activism of Phil Berrigan as well as the militant religious peace movement for years.

On Wednesday Democracy Now! reported that Berrigan, 79, was quietly dying of cancer at Jonah House in Baltimore, the non-violent resistance community he helped found in the early 1970s. Over the past few days, his family and community have been gathering by his bedside. We spoke with Phil Berrigan's son and daughter, Gerry and Frida, and re-ran a 1998 interview conducted inside a federal prison between Democracy Now! and Phil Berrigan. Listen to the Dec. 4 Philip Berrigan special.
