Concepción Picciotto (née Martín; c. 1935 – 25 January 2016), also known as Conchita or Connie, was a Spanish-born peace United-States based activist. She lived in Lafayette Square, Washington, D.C. on the 1600 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, in a peace camp across from the White House, from 1 August 1981 in protest of nuclear arms until her death.
She carried on the longest continuous act of political protest in the United States, with her camp having been nicknamed by her supporters as "1601 Pennsylvania Avenue".
Eleanor Holmes Norton noted that many of Picciotto's goals were accomplished during her protest including a reduction in atomic proliferation.
We ask President Obama to acknowledge her amazing efforts for peace with a bust in her honor. Thank you.
