in this Sunday’s /New York Times/ laid out for all to see both the 
complete immorality of U.S. participation in the destruction of Yemen, 
and the major role played by Massachusetts’ very own Raytheon in the 
conduct of that war.

For five years a coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE has been 
bombing the country of Yemen, routinely striking hospitals, schools, 
food-storage facilities and water-treatment plants. They are also using 
man-made famine as a weapon of war. Over 14 million people, half the 
population, now live on the brink of starvation.

United Nations calls the war in Yemen “the world’s worst humanitarian 
crisis.” It has caused the death of at least 85,000 children under the 
age of 5 from starvation. One million people contracted cholera. 
Raytheon is a major driver of this humanitarian catastrophe. Join us for 
this Powerpoint webinar to learn more about Yemen and about the ways 
Raytheon helps make sure this attack on Yemen continues, even in the 
midst of a pandemic.

Learn more about this crisis and what you can do to make a difference! A 
growing coalition of peace and justice activists have joined together to 
fight back against the military industrial complex in our own backyard.
