Northrop Grumman Action

June 12 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT

WHAT: Northrop Grumman will be notified that it’s violating 6 U.S. laws through its providing manned aircraft missile systems, and (in collaboration with Lockheed Martin) F-35 Fighter Jets and Apache attack helicopters, all to a country credibly accused of war crimes; and that it must stop doing so. We’ll also urge transition to life-sustaining products rather than instruments of war and violence.

WHEN & WHERE: Wed, June 12, at 1pm; at the Northrop Grumman facility at 1740 Wehrle Drive, Buffalo (/Amherst area), NY 14221-7032.

WHO: WNY Peace Center is organizing and inviting the community to join us in celebration of Daniel Ellsberg week (June 10-16) by assembling outside Northrop Grumman – on the Wehrle Drive sidewalk – while a contingent goes inside to inform the company of its illegal acts, and tell them they must desist. We invite you to rsvp at 716-931-3520, or victoryross9@gmail.com.

Daniel Ellsberg, who passed away just a year ago, revealed to the U.S. public the truth about Vietnam and US Nuclear Weapons. Following his example, we’ll reveal and amplify the fact that Northrop Grumman are violating U.S. law, and that they must cease and desist. 

WHY: The U.S. has enacted laws to prevent our enabling war crimes through arming countries credibly accused of such crimes. However, those laws are not being observed, facilitating war, humanitarian crises, and civilian death of horrific proportions in Gaza. (Targeting civilians is a crime under international law.)

With annual sales of $39.3 Billion, NORTHROP GRUMMAN is now the world’s #3rd largest military company, and has broken said laws. While its sales and stockholder dividends are increasing (9% and 10% respectively this quarter), civilians continue to die as our laws to prevent war crimes complicity are ignored.
