Join us across the City of Chicago during the #DivestFromDeath Week of Action to canvass for the #BoeingArmsGenocide campaign on Oct 25th and Oct 27th!!

There will be multiple locations to choose from and each shift will include a quick How To Canvass training at the beginning before the shift starts.

Why are we canvassing and what are we demanding?

We are demanding that the City of Chicago cancels its contract with Boeing as a step towards divesting from the war industry.

Boeing has been instrumental in facilitating human rights abuses though its "defense" contracts with the U.S. military, U.S. Border Patrol, Israel, India, and Saudi Arabia, providing them with bombs, missiles, artillery and surveillance technology.  Boeing is a war profiteer that fuels death, war and ethnic cleansing.

Since 2001, the City of Chicago has provided Boeing with nearly $60 million in tax subsidies in order to keep it's headquarters here. This is reflective of the city's extensive history of funding policing and militarization rather than investing in building safe communities. As long as Boeing receives tax incentives, the city is using our tax dollars to fund genocide and death. We demand that this changes immediately, and the city refuses to spend another penny supporting Boeing and the war industry. These resources should be used to fund life-affirming services - such as education, housing, healthcare, pandemic relief, small business grants, clean energy, restorative justice practices, etc. The city of Chicago should be investing in our communities, not lining the pockets of war profiteers.
