Forwarded from DE-MILITARIZE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD
On the morning of December 11th, organizers with Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard approached board members of the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation (BNYDC) as they arrived for the last board meeting of the year. We handed them letters demanding they terminate lease agreements with two of their genocide profiteering tenants: Easy Aerial (Bldg 77, Suite 610) and Crye Precision (Bldg 128B). These companies supply the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) with military drones and tactical gear to use in the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the occupation of Palestine.
WE DEMAND BROOKLYN NAVY YARD EVICT EASY AERIAL AND CRYE PRECISION, AND COMMIT TO PROHIBIT CONTRACTS WITH ALL GENOCIDE PROFITEERS!
The overwhelming response from many board members was aggressive and dismissive — rapidly shutting down conversation once Palestine or the word "genocide" was mentioned. Despite being calmly approached by community members open to conversation, they responded with hostile comments, cowered behind the erratic security, and demanded our removal.
During our action we learned that each board meeting includes a public comment section, which BNYDC does not make widely known. Two of our Palestinian comrades were able to enter the meeting and address the board with our letter that many had refused to read, share powerful personal statements, and emphasize the impact of Brooklyn Navy Yard’s complicity with genocide. We continued with our regular noise demo outside of the meeting to make sure BNYDC knew we weren’t going anywhere until our voices were heard.
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. We will be back Feb 5th for a PICKET + TEACH-IN during the next public board meeting. Now, we call on you, people of conscience, to join workers and community members to continue the pressure to meet our demands!
FROM TURTLE ISLAND TO PALESTINE, SHUT DOWN ALL WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS AND GENOCIDE PROFITEERS!

TOMORROW, HEAR THEM SPEAK. On Jan. 07, NYU issued 11 year-long suspensions to pro-Palestine students who demanded the university disclose its endowment.
After a series of continual baseless meetings and appeals, at least 13 students are now suspended from NYU.
Join these students, faculty and community members tomorrow on Thursday, at 12:30 for a press conference.
Following the press conference, students call for a picket at Bobst, where the university has effectively shut down all forms of protest in response to the campus movement for Palestine.
If they won’t hear our demands, and if they’ll kick us out — shut it down.
DISCLOSE. DIVEST. SHUT DOWN NYU TA.
AMNESTY NOW.

📷 🚨 PICKET + TEACH-IN TOMORROW 02/05 OUTSIDE THE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (BNYDC) BOARD MEETING 🚨
WEDNESDAY FEB. 5
TIME: 8:30-11:00AM
LOCATION: 141 Flushing Avenue, Building 77
THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW. We call on all workers, neighbors, and community members to join the PICKET + TEACH-IN outside the BNYDC first board meeting of the year. Demand that the BNYDC evict Crye Precision and Easy Aerial, two of their genocide profiteer tenants who not only supply the IOF, but also the NYPD, DoD, and ICE with the weapons and technology for surveillance, occupation, and murder.
Since January 21, the "israeli" Occupation Forces have been relentlessly attacking homes and infrastructure and forcibly displacing Palestinians in Jenin and Tulkarem camps in the northern occupied West Bank. During this "Operation Iron Wall," 11 Palestinian children have been martyred, 7 of whom were killed by drones – the same IOF weapons and genocide tech manufactured right here at Brooklyn Navy Yard.

From the belly of the beast, it is our duty to rise for Palestine and all oppressed people of the world. We must remain steadfast alongside our Palestinian siblings and make our voices heard: SAY NO TO GENOCIDE TECH MANUFACTURED IN OUR BACKYARD! SHUT DOWN CRYE PRECISION! SHUT DOWN EASY AERIAL!
Bring your comrades, noise makers, signs and RAGE!
We will start with a PICKET at 8:30am and will continue with a TEACH-IN at 10am to discuss how Crye Precision and Easy Aerial supply the IOF and their collaborations with the NYPD, ICE, and the DoD. From Palestine to Turtle Island, these two companies arm the genocidal entities of Empire. We must continue to do everything in our power to disrupt and dismantle the imperial supply chain and war machine. We cannot allow these companies, nor the corporation that houses them, to sit comfortably so long as they supply the genocidal zionist entity!

GENOCIDE PROFITEERS DISGUISED AS “CREATIVE” COMPANIES IN BROOKLYN NAVY YARD 🚨
Would you expect companies fueling war, genocide and killing civilians to be listed under Fine Arts & Fashion?
That’s exactly what’s happening at Brooklyn Navy Yard.
🔴 Easy Aerial → Listed as “Fine Arts/Photography” but actually manufactures drones used in “israeli” airstrikes that kill civilians.
🔴 Crye Precision → Listed as “Fashion/Accessories” but actually produces body armor & gear for “israeli” Occupation Forces carrying out deadly assaults on Palestinian communities.
They are hiding behind creative industry labels while profiting from war, genocide, occupation, and mass killing of civilians. NYC, don’t let them get away with it.
