When #BloodMoney Isn’t Enough: #Raytheon Admits to #Defrauding Pentagon

#RTX’s bombs regularly kill children and civilians. It does white-collar crimes too, according to a $950 million #fraud and #bribery settlement this week.

"The #RTXCorporation, the weapons giant formerly (and better) known as Raytheon, agreed on Wednesday to pay almost $1 billion to resolve allegations that it #defrauded the U.S. government and paid bribes to secure business with #Qatar."

Today, alongside fellow queer community groups, businesses, and individuals, we are publishing an open letter to the leadership of Blue Ridge Pride asking that they cut ties with military contractor Pratt & Whitney.

"We do not believe that Pratt & Whitney, a company profiting from the death of queer Palestinians, has any place at Pride. We do not believe that any company involved in war crimes should be welcome at Pride."

You can read the full letter at https://bit.ly/brp-open-letter. Local queer organizations wishing to endorse this letter are invited to add their names by contacting us.
