HeadlineAug 12, 2021

Early this morning, activists with the FANG Collective blockaded the entrances to the Raytheon facility in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. The group was protesting weapon sales to Saudi Arabia and Israel, and Raytheon’s involvement in the militarization of U.S. immigration policy and the U.S.-Mexico border. Among other things, Raytheon missiles have been linked to the killing of civilians in Yemen.
