Production of this missile violates the spirit and letter of the 2017 United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons\, which entered into force in January 2021. \nThe wars in Ukraine\, Palestine and elsewhere have brought millions of dollars in new contracts for Raytheon weapons. Weapons and endless war are Raytheon’s business model. It’s commerce\, not defense\, and all about profit\, not security. \nNow simply called Raytheon\, it is the most profitable division of the corporate war profiteer Raytheon Technologies\, RTX.com. With its top management and largest factory in Tucson\, Raytheon employs more than 13\,000 of our Southern Arizona friends and neighbors. \nFor more than two decades\, Raytheon has hailed Tucson as the Missile Technology Capital of the World – a center for lethal innovation and cutting-edge killing for profit. From Standard Missiles to Star Wars “kill vehicles” and hypersonic glide bombs\, AMRAAMs and Javelins\, Mavericks and microwave crowd control beams\, drones\, cluster bombs and now\, nuclear-armed cruise missiles – it’s all made here\, some even sold to friends and foes of friends alike. \nhttps://www.salon.com/2018/06/27/raytheons-profits-boom-alongside-civilian-deaths-in-yemen_partner/ \nWe do not oppose those working at Raytheon.\nWe understand the need for good paying jobs in Tucson. \nWe oppose the militarism that exploits this need\, “developing” our own community at the expense of others around the world. \nSigns provided\, or bring your own. More info: (520)323-8697 or nukeresister@igc.org. \n* Parking is on the NORTH side of the Hermans Road entrance to the plant (3rd traffic light south of Valencia on Nogales Highway\, the extension of South 6th Avenue). Park on the gravel off northbound Nogales Highway\, between railroad tracks and highway\, (closer to the highway than the railroad tracks) north of Hermans Road. \nSAFETY \nThere are many cars turning off Old Nogales Highway from both directions onto Herman’s Road to go to work\, some at a pretty fast clip. People will need to carefully cross Hermans Road with the crossing light at the crosswalk in order to vigil on the south side of Hermans Road. \nAdditionally\, we should take care to not stand in the road\, and to keep our signs\, banners and flags from hanging over the road\, so we don’t create any danger to ourselves or others.

Ground the Drones! \nDEPLETED URANIUM:\nA-10 warplanes that train out of Davis-Monthan AFB are responsible for the vast majority of radioactive ammunition – estimated at well over 400 tons – used in Iraq in 1991 and 2003-2005.\nA recent analysis of targeting data reveals that the toxic ammo was used well beyond its armor-piercing design\, and was used again in Syria in military operations against ISIS in 2015.\nIraq is littered with high levels of nuclear and dioxin contamination\, including depleted uranium\, resulting in greater rates of cancer and birth defects near sites.
