BREAKING. We just disrupted war profiteer and Raytheon executive @OSullivanMeghan as she taught a class about climate change at Harvard University's Kennedy School.
We continued the disruption until @OSullivanMeghan left the classroom.
Then we took it to the hallway.
.@OSullivanMeghan is on the board of directors at Raytheon - the second largest military contractor in the world - and also was an architect for the invasion and occupation of Iraq - a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people. #RejectRaytheon
@OSullivanMeghan In 2007 the Washington Post said that O'Sullivan "has been at the heart of the most important project of the Bush presidency - the invasion, occupation and continuing war in Iraq - from the beginning.”
This semester @OSullivanMeghan is teaching a class about climate change. Someone that profits from war and climate chaos should not be allowed to teach a class like this. #NoWarNoWarming
@OSullivanMeghan The U.S. military is also one of the largest consumers of fossil fuels, but is exempt from international climate change negotiations. #NoWarNoWarming
@OSullivanMeghan .@Harvard and the @Kennedy_School have a long history of giving platforms to warmongers, imperialists and zionists. The school is also a main recruiting ground for the CIA, NSA, and FBI.
Two of the banners hung from the roof read: Two of the banners read "End All Wars, End All Empires", and "Raytheon profits from death in Yemen, Palestine & Ukraine".
Raytheon is the largest producer of guided missiles in the world and is the second largest military contractor. Their headquarters is in Waltham, MA, just minutes from here.
Raytheon has made billions in profits from Israel’s occupation of Palestine, Saudi Arabia’s war on Yemen, the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. They also have numerous contracts with ICE and other border enforcement agencies around the world.
BREAKING: Five people are on the roof of the Raytheon facility in Cambridge, MA. Raytheon's parking garage has also been blockaded. We are here demanding that Raytheon stop profiting from war, genocide, and colonial violence. #FreePalestine#YemenCantWait#EndAllWars
LIVE UPDATE: The 5 people on the roof have locked to each other. We are not going anywhere.
