The fourteen were arrested and many served jail time. The MILWAUKEE 14 members continue peace activism and many support the Catholic Worker Movement. Redeemer Church at 631 N. 19th. Street. Milwaukee, WI was the original home of The Coffee House for fifty-one years since 1976 and hosted many Catholic Worker events.
