DESCRIPTION:"Shut It Down for Palestine" day of action is December 8.\n\nJoin CODEPINK 
 at a Lockheed Martin office to demand that LM cease production of all 
 weapons intended for the Israeli military's genocide in Gaza.  We will 
 serve a "Merchants of Death War Crimes Tribunal" subpoena to Lockheed 
 Martin, currently being tried for war crimes by the tribunal, and hold a 
 teach-in on the question "How is the genocide in Gaza supported by Lockheed 
 Martin?" There will be a LM picket line, symbolic die-in, and blood-red 
 hands to symbolize LM's murderous business in Gaza.\n\nLockheed CEO James 
 D. Taiclett and his Board of Directors have the blood of thousands of 
 Palestinians on their hands. Lockheed is the world's largest military 
 contractor. They literally make a killing on killing. A highly profitable 
 "merchant of death," LM shareholder profits from war crimes are 
 astronomical. \n\n“Lockheed Martin is proud of the significant role it 
 has fulfilled in the security of the State of Israel"                 says 
 Lockheed Martin's website, gushing that "Lockheed sells Israel F-35 fighter 
 jets "the most lethal fighter aircraft in the world", the Multiple Launch 
 Rocket System (MLRS) used by IDF ground forces on the battlefield, radars, 
 rockets, fire control and guidance systems, laser pointers and pods. 
 Lockheed partners with Israeli companies, including Elbit Systems (drone 
 warfare), Cyclone, Tadiran and others. The collaboration between Lockheed 
 Martin and Israeli industries is expected to exceed $4 
 billion."\n\nLockheed is "public enemy number one" for a world that 
 deserves to live in peace, cooperation, and true security.  Lockheed spends 
 millions to influence U.S. foreign policy, promoting continual bloody 
 conflicts in order to keep profits high. They bribe Congress, which then 
 votes to spend billions of our tax dollars to fund violence all over the 
 globe. LM has facilities in almost every state, creating a "war economy" 
 with hundreds of thousands of jobs making killing machines. Lockheed 
 workers deserve to do work for good, not for bloody wars. Lockheed could 
 make products that help the planet, not destroy it. The $14 billion Biden 
 is asking Congress to approve for the Israeli military? Let's use it 
 instead to help Palestine, and for health care, housing, education, clean 
 energy and community needs in the USA.\n
