Here is an excellent website about the women's occupation of Greenham Common in the early 1980s in protest against the siting of U.S. Cruise Missiles in Britain. This was a remarkably courageous and persistent anti-cold-war, anti-nuclear action, which was almost entirely nonviolent (depending, I think, on whether tearing down a fence qualifies as violence).

I heard about Greenham from my sister-in-law who lives nearby, in Berkshire. I've been under the impression that she was a participant - I know she wasn't arrested. I'm going to ask her more about it.
