On the morning of October 27, organizers from the Boeing Arms Genocide conducted a blockade at Governor J.B. Pritzker’s Chicago offices to demand an immediate halt on sending Illinois tax dollars to one of the world’s largest weapons manufacturers and war profiteers, Boeing.

Activists in Missouri block a Boeing factory which sends bombs for Israel’s genocidal attack.
Against the US government enabling the #GazaGenocide, it’s a people’s duty to take action to stop complicity.

Absolutely brilliant!
Since 2000 Boeing has exported military goods from the US to Israel worth at a MINIMUM $2.8bn. This includes $1.3bn of bombs and guidance kits some of which are being used to commit genocide in #Gaza right now!
Build & organise to #stopArmingIsrael

Over 75 activists in Missouri have obstructed every entry point to the Boeing building where bombs and ammunition used by Israel in Gaza are produced.
The manufacturing plant has supplied Israel with almost 1,000 bombs since 7 October
