USA: Coffins Bear Truth to Boeing

CHICAGO
– On 19 January, 50 CPTers and supporters carried cardboard coffins covered
with Palestinian flags through downtown Chicago, dramatizing Boeing’s deadly
connection to Israel’s recent offensive in Gaza.  Chicago
police arrested four of the mourners when they knelt to pray beside the coffins
placed at the front door of Boeing Headquarters. 

Boeing makes the GBU-39 small diameter
bombs and the Apache helicopters used by the Israeli military during its recent
war on Gaza.   More
than 1300 Palestinians, mostly women and children, lost their lives, and
thousands more were injured when bombs fell on neighborhoods, schools,
hospitals and UN food warehouses.

CPTers in training organized the witness. 

Septermber Supper Fundraiser

Will you host a dinner party for CPT?

CPT really needs your support in raising $10k in September. Unfortunately, we are behind our financial targets and need your help. We want to dedicate the month of September to bringing people together around the dinner table. You can choose the date, who you invite and what you cook (though our teams have some great recipes prepared!) We’d love to hear if you’d be interested. 

There’s no commitment needed at this stage.

I'm interested
