The Illinois-funded Boeing just expedited shipment of 1,000 bombs to aid Israel's genocide in Gaza! Sign onto our demands that @JBPritzker end his $8.7 million tax break to Boeing now! bit.ly/noboeingdrones BOOT BOEING, FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

2. Over the same photo, a green headline says "1,000 BOMBS SENT FOR USE ON GAZA" With body text that reads "The Seattle Times reports that 1,000 Boeing bombs were flown to the Israeli military in recent days. The shipment is part of a $735 million direct sale that Israel and Boeing made in May 2021, during an Israeli bombing campaign that killed 240+ Palestinians. The U.S. Airforce gloats that the GBU-39B bomb's "small size allows increased aircraft loadout to achieve multiple kills" per bombing run." Below are source citations for a seattle times article and a US airforce fact sheet.

Boeing is recieving over $8 million in Illinois State tax breaks granted by the Pritzker administration." Below that is a source citation for the Boeing page of the American Friends Service Committee's website called Investigate.

4. A photo of a banner hung on the front gate of Governor JB Pritzker's mansion, which says "Pritzker, no $$ for Boeing drone factory!" The banner is surrounded by cardboard signs with custom anti-Boeing and anti-imperialist messages on them, as well as a cutout of Pritzker's face. A green header above the picture says "BOOT BOEING, FREE PALESTINE" and gives a link to our petition.

One of our members just spoke about how our campaign started in May 2021 with an action against Boeing's $735 million arms deal to Israel. Since then we helped kick Boeing HQ out of Chi & now we're gonna cancel their $8.7 million IL tax break‼️ Join us: bit.ly/noboeingdrones

Defending Rights & Dissent
@RightsDissent3 Mar 2023
Today, 66 environmental, human rights, and civil liberties organizations sent a letter to Georgia prosecutors urging them to drop domestic terrorism charges against #StopCopCity protesters. The charges are a draconian escalation seemingly intended to chill 1A-protected activity.

Police violence is unacceptable, and is killing Black people in our communities. We all have a role to play in keeping our communities safe, and that includes "thinking twice" before calling 911 in the first place. Sign the "Think Twice" pledge: afsc.org/action/think-twice-… #SOTU2023

"The tax system is not fair." It's time for corporations and the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes! We can afford to invest in our communities if billionaires and companies are fairly taxed. #SOTU2023

Biden says he's working to bring prescription drug prices down, so that people can feel "secure." That's what real security is - being able to access healthcare and other basic human needs. That is how we keep our communities safe! #SOTU2023

We're hearing 'testimony' from @Boeing CEO Calhoun, whose $2.7 million condo is nearby. "I made it possible to sell arms to Israel last year, and I dont think I should be on trial because i made a few people in Illinois richer." BOOOOOO 🍅 🍅. FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸 🇵🇸
