War Merchants Exposure Day
Members of Veterans for Peace of Binghamton and Syracuse, NY joined with Peace Action of NY, Upstate Drone Action and Pax Christi UpState to poke the bloody bee hive of the arms industry. We selected two, BAE in Endicott, NY, and Lockheed Martin in Owego NY. BAE is ranked #3 arms maker worldwide and Lockheed is #1. Our intent was to appeal to workers to demand work that promotes life, not destroys life. We had a letter (already sent certified mail to both corporations) to hand deliver to BAE Endicott officials.
