Few demands for divestment in the repro rights movement have emerged, likely because workers are unaware of Planned Parenthood's connection to Raytheon
To the dismay of many sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice workers in the U.S., many movement organizations had to be pushed to call for a ceasefire in Gaza or otherwise voice support for Palestinians who are being murdered en masse by the Israeli military. This includes Israel’s recent assault on Rafah, a supposed “safe zone” that was shelled by Israeli forces, killing dozens of people who were sheltering in a displacement camp.
While some recent demands from pro-Palestine protestors may seem to have nothing to do with the repro movement—namely the call for institutions to divest from arms manufacturers that aid the ongoing genocide in Gaza—Prism exclusively reports that connections to weapons companies do exist in the repro field. In fact, the nation’s leading provider of sexual and reproductive health care contracts directly with one of the world’s largest weapons manufacturers.
Exactly, no one does security like defensive contractors. If wing nuts got a hold of this data. Lots and lots of people would be attacked, fire bombed, or kill.
"According to a 2019 tax return that extends through the organization’s fiscal year ending in June 2020, Planned Parenthood Federation of America paid more than $3.3 million to Raytheon Foreground Security for “IT Services.” Raytheon Foreground Security is a subsidiary of RTX, one of the world’s largest defense companies. According to Crunchbase, Raytheon Foreground Security provides cyber security services, including security engineering, assessment, customized security training, and advanced incident response and forensics services."
Granted that industry is mostly grift, but it doesn't sound directly military.
They are not military, but they have had many huge military contracts over the years and work closely with the military. They also invented the microwave oven and many other commercial non-military electronics.
They've only been around for a few years but have been reliable in my experience. Left of center in the topics they choose to cover, but factually correct coverage.
