7/18 (in person, Dedham MA) 6pm - Dedham Can Do Better Than Bombs Procession & Flyering (Mass Peace Action & partners)

Massachusetts Peace Action has launched a campaign against General Dynamics (GD), a weapons company with an office right here in Dedham, MA.

Join us, alongside Pax Christi MA and Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine, Thursday from 6-8pm at Eastern Ave & High Street in Dedham, as we raise awareness on the company’s role in the ongoing genocide and seek signatures for our campaign proclamation. We protest General Dynamics’ presence in Dedham, as well as their role in the genocide of Palestinians.

We will have a procession during Dedham’s “Summer Stroll” event with a replica of General Dynamics’ destructive 2000 lb bomb and distribute educational flyers.

General Dynamics directly profits from the slaughter of Palestinian civilians. They are manufacturers of the Mark 80 series of bombs that are being used to carry out the genocide. Their 2000 lb Mark 84 bomb is so destructive that Israel was warned by a UN commission in 2014 that its use in Gaza likely constituted a “violation of the prohibition on indiscriminate attacks.” Now, the UN Human Rights Councils is putting companies like General Dynamics on notice, warning them that continued sale and transfer of their weapons to Israel risks complicity in violation of international human rights and laws.
