In 1982, Gerhard Schroder wrote a contribution in Die Zeit for the book Prinzip Leben, edited by Kelly and Jo Leinen, which discussed ecological problems and a possible nuclear war. The same year, Kelly received the Right Livelihood Award for forging and implementing a new vision uniting ecological concerns with disarmament, social justice,. and human rights. On 12 May 1983, Kelly, Gert Bastian, and 3 other Green Bundestag members unfurled a banner on Alexanderplatz in East Berlin, which said "The Greens – Swords to Ploughshares". After being arrested, they met with East German opposition parties, which was tolerated this since the West German Greens repudiated the NATO Double-Track Decision.
