Raytheon/RTX Resistance! From Kentucky to Palestine

In February of 2024, Louisville activists peacefully protested Raytheon/RTX and BAE, two weapons manufacturers operating out of South Louisville that supply weapons to the state of Israel. Fifteen of the protestors were arrested and charged with "criminal trespassing of key infrastructure" - a charge created to criminalize protesting.

Five of those arrested are taking our case to trial to focus attention on the weapons industry, the ongoing Israeli occupation and genocide of Palestine, and the repression and deportation of activists.

Join the Raytheon Five and community members to discuss this local weapons manufacturer's role in this genocide, its impact on our local community, and forms of resistance to Israel's war crimes, from Louisville to Palestine.
