46] –On Wed., Nov. 18
from 6:30 to 8 PM, hear about Organizing for Peace during the Biden
Administration with Matt Duss who will provide Insights to Enhance Peace
Practice. Those who live in Massachusetts bear a special responsibility for
this carnage because the lethal bombs used by the Saudi Arabian coalition are
manufactured by Raytheon Technologies, headquartered in the city of Waltham.
The US government has sold billions of dollars worth of Raytheon munitions to
Saudi Arabia. This presentation, created by the Raytheon Anti-War
Committee, will give the whole picture of this catastrophe, the immorality and
corruption of US participation in the destruction of Yemen, and the culpability
of Massachusetts’ Raytheon Technology. Most importantly, it will provide information
about the opportunities for action emanating from present political realities
and the powerful organizing going on. Learn how we can act in solidarity with
an international movement on behalf of Yemen that is gaining force. Find
