We recently found out that Wenatchee hosts one of many weapons manufacturing sites in the United States. Our local Pacific Aerospace & Electronics makes ceramic EMI filters for Apache AH-64 helicopters, which are currently being used to drop hellfire missiles on Gaza.
This means that Wenatchee is directly contributing to the genocide in Gaza.
Weapons Out of Wenatchee is a brand new grassroots campaign to get weapons manufacturing out of Wenatchee.
Right now, their focus is on spreading awareness so that more people in Wenatchee know that our own city is complicit in mass death overseas as well as worsening the climate catastrophe by supporting the military industrial complex.
We’re teaming up with Weapons Out of Wenatchee to work toward a goal of no weapons manufacturing in Wenatchee!
Things that you can do to help:
- Sign up at weaponsoutofwenatchee.wordpress.com to join the fight!
- Help spread awareness of the fact that weapons manufacturing is happening in Wenatchee by sharing the Weapons Out of Wenatchee website and zine.
- Do you know of any local events that may be sponsored by PacAero? Let us know!
