Support the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons at Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest war profiteer and the U.S.’s #1 nuclear weapons contractor.
Statement of Commitment
We protest Lockheed Martin, the world’s #1 war profiteer, and its economy of war, from drone warfare technology to nuclear weapons and the forgotten but no less real peril of nuclear annihilation.
From the depths of our hearts we defy the messages of hate, racism, sexism, greed and violence. We reach-out to people, near and far, to honor Dr. King in acts and works of justice, love, and protest of injustice, cruelty, and war.
We are not here to talk about Donald Trump nor his lies, greed, and vicious policy actions. We are here to defy what Donald J. Trump represents and all that support and have profited from what hate bestows.
We are here to resist Lockheed Martin and to uphold the UN Nuclear Ban Treat
At Lockheed Martin, we listen to Dr. King anew, remembering what he described as the intertwined ‘evil triplets of American society: Racism, Materialism, and Militarism’.
We remember that for justice, peace, human decency and truth, Dr. King died rather than give in to the racism, war, and violence he faced .
We toll a bell of peace for justice, nonviolence, and love.
We bang drums in celebration of Dr. King, his life and his message of hope and resistance in the face of racism and sexism, greed, militarism and war .
IGNITE PEACE @Lockheed Martin. Support the UN Nuclear Ban Treaty
