In that movement she and her husband strongly protested against the government and both were arrested. She served three years in the Kingston Penitentiary for women for arson. She gained attention in 1963 when she led the "Trek" involving hundreds of Freedomites camping out at Agassiz Mountain Prison to protest the arrest of fellow members.
