The White House Peace Vigil is an anti-nuclear weapons peace vigil started by William Thomas in 1981.[1] Thomas believed it to be the longest running uninterrupted anti-war protest in U.S. history.[1]
After Thomas's death in 2009, it was maintained around-the-clock by Concepción Picciotto until her death in 2016, and also by other volunteers to prevent the vigil from being dismantled by authorities.
