March 18-19 a major weapons conference is convening in Seattle. We say SHUT IT DOWN!
Mobilize with us March 18, 12p @ Seattle Convention Center (Arches building)
Tell Gov Ferguson to cancel and ban the Defense Supplier Summit! tinyurl.com/DSSOut Help us get 500 signatures by Wednesday!
Next week, over 700 companies from over 25 countries will be convening at the Aerospace & Defense Supplier Summit held at the Seattle Convention Center to participate in the business of war. These companies supply the parts for a deadly array of brutal weaponry. From attack helicopters to bomber planes, these weapons are used to terrorize the masses at home and abroad from Palestine to the Philippines, Venezuela to Iran. The companies at this summit stand to profit from every plane shipped and bomb dropped.
This is the 8th time the DSS is convening. Two years ago, we held a mass mobilization in protest which forced them onto zoom for the first day, in a major show of the people's strength. Now that DSS has decided to return, we are demanding that Governor Bob Ferguson, the Convention Center Board of Directors, and WA Dept of Commerce CANCEL and BAN this weapons conference from Washington.
Sign onto the petition linked at the top of this email and join ILPS and allies on March 18th 12p at the Arches Seattle Convention Center for a mass action to show that Seattle wants DSS shut down!
