RIGHT NOW: Bay Area residents & former & current tech employees block the entrance to #Googleio, their biggest event of the year, to say #NoTechForGenocide. Google makes over $1 billion in contracts w/ the Israeli military who’ve murdered more than 35K Palestinians in 8 months.
"Not in our backyard. Lockheed Martin has an office right here in our backyard in the Bay Area. How can we act like nothing is happening? We do this out of care, because we believe peace is possible." https://t.co/39ENS2s43I @KPIXtv#StopArmingIsrael#LockheedMurders
This blockade reflects others that across the globe at weapons manufacturers in protest of their contributions to Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. We all have a collective responsibility to disrupt the war machine until Palestine is free.

We blocked Lockheed Martin entrances for five hours, from just before 6 am to just after 11 am, in the rain. No arrests were made. Lockheed employees’ vehicles lined up outside, unable to get into work.

One enraged Lockheed Martin employee threatened to drive over protesters, brandished a knife, and yelled, “Somebody’s gonna die.” Our folks safely de-escalated the violent employee.

A protester locked down shares with us: "Lockheed Martin is one of the largest weapons manufacturers in the world. They've been supporting apartheid Israel for at least 20 years... their weapons are killing mothers, children, men, families, & innocent people." #StopArmingIsrael
Video description (1/2): A masked protester sits with their arms locked in a metal tube that displays "FREE PALESTINE", in front of the Lockheed Martin Sunnyvale HQ. They say, "I'm here today because Lockheed Martin is one of the largest weapons manufacturers in the world..."

Not only are weapons made here to commit genocide in Gaza, but the aerospace surveillance technology being developed right here is being used to further militarize the U.S. Mexico border. Lockheed is guilty of a war against humanity. #LockheedMurders#LockheedMassacres
