Tell CSM Corp: End the Lease!
Forward Edge ASIC is owned by the world’s largest weapons manufacturer, Lockheed Martin and currently resides in the St. Anthony neighborhood of St. Paul.
Through the MN Department of Employment and Economic Development, FEASIC was granted space in St. Paul and $1.2 million of free loans of taxpayer money to build microchips that would facilitate the ongoing genocide in Palestine — and the war on Iran. These microchips are part of the F-35 pipeline, fighter jets used to target and bomb thousands of people overseas.
We applaud St. Paul City Council for unanimously voting down FEASIC’s grant extension, making sure that FEASIC must pay back a portion of the loan, $200,000 in taxpayer dollars. While this is a necessary first step, FEASIC still resides in St. Paul designing weapons.
The building FEASIC currently occupies is owned by CSM Corporation, a local property management company with properties across the U.S. And their lease is up on June 2027 — which means we have the chance to kick out FEASIC!!!
Join the call and let CSM Corporations know how Minnesotans feel about a weapons manufacturer taking up valuable resources — valuable resources that could be used to build and uplift communities rather than destroy them!
