Lockheed Martin is the World's Largest Weapons Manufacturer. They use OUR tax dollars to create the weapons of mass violence that killed nearly two thousand Iraqi Civilians within the last month. This is Direct, non-violent action.

Come to the orientation the night before and stay in the Southbay (accommodations will be provided), or arrive the morning of the action, From San Francisco, take Caltrain to Mountain View, transfer to the VTA Lightrail system, and get off at the "Lockheed" station. Bikes are allowed, it's a 75 minute trip, and orienters will be waiting for you. Please plan to arrive by 6am, though actions will continue throughout the day.
(Note: Among other weapons of mass destruction, Trident II submarine-launched ballistic nuclear warhead-carrying missiles are made at this site.)
OUR GOALS:
DISRUPT THE BUSINESS OF WAR PROFITEERING!!!
If the government will not halt its dangerous & irresponsible policy of pre-emptive invasions, we will stop the businesses that profit from warmaking. We will use NON-VIOLENT DIRECT ACTION to shut down corporations whose executives line their
pockets by exporting death & destruction worldwide.
EDUCATE
We will apply strong political pressure on government officials to STOP UNPROVOKED INVASIONS by our government.
CONTRIBUTE TO A VIBRANT AND GROWING ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT
Make plans to get to the orientation locations listed below
either the night before or the day of the action.
Also check the SouthBay Mobilization website for past actions at LockheedMartin in Sunnyvale, and flyers distributed there.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
FORM AN AFFINITY GROUP NOW Get a group of 5 to 25 people together now to plan for the action. Make plans to get to the orientation locations either the night before or on the day of the action. Send someone from your group to the spokes-council meeting on Sunday.

1. Mass Die-in: Represent those killed in Iraq by laying in the street dressed as a victim of war
2. Civilian Weapons Inspectors are needed to "inspect" at one of the entrance to Lockheed Martin Facilities. Come prepared to investigate!
3. Form a human blockade to shut down the war profiteers and disrupt business. Bring music and be ready to celebrate life.
