A Jeb With No Name

"In the months since the escalation of the genocide of Gaza began, many U.S. disability rights organizations have continued to foster financial and collaborative relationships with companies that profit from the oppression and genocide of Palestinians. Several disability rights organizations, which advocate for equal rights and treatment for disabled Americans, accept funding and have fostered partnerships with major war profiteers and weapons manufacturers including Northrop Grumman, Booz Allen, Boeing, RTX/Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, General Motors, and Google. These companies manufacture and profit from the weapons, vehicles, aircraft, and technology that Israel is using to wage its genocidal campaign to kill and maim as many Palestinians as possible. The United Nations has called on weapons manufacturers to cease the sale and transfer of weapons to Israel or risk being complicit in violations of international human rights laws. We cannot build a movement for disability equality on funding that comes from the genocide of our disabled peers in Palestine and elsewhere in the Global South."
