Boeing, a major aerospace manufacturer and defense contractor, is complicit in the genocide in Palestine, sparking protests at Cornell University job fair.
Students at Cornell University recently walked out of a job fair to protest the presence of Boeing, a company linked to the ongoing genocide in Palestine. They stood in solidarity with over 33,000 Boeing workers who are currently on strike for better pay and working conditions. The students chanted slogans against Boeing’s involvement in genocide, highlighting the intersection of struggles for worker rights and Palestinian liberation.
In addition to exploiting workers and supplying weapons to Israel, Boeing’s actions have far-reaching consequences, fueling regional conflicts and harming oppressed communities. The student and labor movements are increasingly aligning to challenge oppressive structures, drawing inspiration from historical movements like the Seattle General Strike.
Unity between students and workers is crucial in confronting common adversaries like Boeing and resisting attempts to silence protest movements. By standing together, students and workers can amplify their voices and advocate for justice on a global scale.
