Tuesday, July 31
5pm – 6pm
Outside South Station, Boston
Most of Congress ‘Likes War’ and Opposes Ending US Support for Saudi War in Yemen
Raytheon (with plants in Waltham, Cambridge and other Mass. locations) provides Saudi Arabia with the bombs and technology that are a major cause of thousands of deaths and the physical destruction responsible for:
A raging cholera epidemic with 2,100 dead of cholera so far and 900,000 infected
Millions are on the edge of war-caused famine – including 400,000 children.
Terror from the sky caused by 16,749 air raids so far – 15 every day (sources: Doctors without borders; Save the Children; World Health Org; OCHA; UNICEF)
Raytheon’s bombs, technology and its 50 year relationship with the brutal Saudi regime have made this war crime possible.
Meanwhile Raytheon is pressuring the U.S. government to let is sell even more of its bombs to Saudi Arabia as its profits skyrocket. (Boston Globe 6/14/18)
As the host to this behemoth of the military industrial complex, Massachusetts is the technology hub for Saudi Arabia’s war crimes against people who have done us no harm.
Time to stand up for the survival of the people of Yemen and against the war criminals
