Occupy
Chicago has posted a notice on the organization’s Facebook page calling
for the shutdown of Boeing’s Chicago headquarters building during the
NATO Summit later this month.
“Boeing has
received over $12,231,152,299 from the U.S. Department of Defense to
produce war machines, which are used to terrorize civilians and
communities the world over” the posting states. “These tools of
destruction are produced using prison labor, allowing Boeing to make
weaponized products for pennies on the dollar.”
The Occupy
notice calls Boeing a “war criminal” and states that members of the
organization will shut down Boeing on May 21, the Monday of the NATO
Summit.
Boeing has
manufacturing facilities across the United States. They relocated their
world headquarters to Chicago from Seattle in 2001.
