What is BlackRock?
BlackRock is the top investor in weapons manufacturers such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and General Dynamics. The weapons from these companies are used in military strikes around the world, resulting in the deaths of innocents civilians and the destruction of the environment. These companies lie at the brutal heart of the military-industrial complex. In supporting them, BlackRock and its shareholders are making huge profits off of global suffering. We cannot allow BlackRock to continue to go unchallenged about its war profiteering. Together, we can hold them accountable. Learn more about BlackRock.

Sample Message You Can Share:
BlackRock is making a killing on killing! You are investing billions in Lockheed Martin and are profiting off a corporation that creates weapons of war. Your CEO says that you want socially responsible corporate citizens, but you profit off of death and destruction! Making war is a dirty business that pollutes our air and water and poisons our communities around the world.

Join or organize an action
Organize a rally or vigil outside a BlackRock location! Some action uniqueness will simply be their locations — if there isn’t a BlackRock location near you, then there might be a place to hold your event that is particularly important to your community, or symbolic of the weapons industry and Lockheed Martin? Examples include City Hall, Federal Building, community center, university, or local worship space. Let us know if you decide to organize or join an action/event so that we can support you!!

That says, by our own stupidity and greed, we are holding these weapons on hair trigger alert? That says 1 percent of Nuclear Weapons fired would produce a Nuclear winter that may end all life
Thanks for all you do
