Support the Elbit 8
On March 22 New England activists held a non-violent protest at Elbit Systems where workers were prevented from reaching the facility in advance of the morning shift. It took most of the day and a total of 70 police to remove the blockade and charge eight people with criminal trespassing and resisting arrest.
Elbit Systems is an Israeli company with locations in the U.S. It has been targeted by protesters in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and several locations in the UK including Leicester where the facility is now closed. Elbit also recently closed their Cambridge office in Massachusetts due to relentless protests and disruptions by activists there.
On March 26 NH Governor Sununu in a radio interview said, “We are going to persecute[sic] them to the full extent of the law.”
