Honeywell

On Friday, Oct. 3, from noon to 1 pm, anti-war picketers will ask Wal-Mart shoppers at the downtown White Plains, NY store (275 Main Street) not to buy Honeywell consumer products such as heaters and humidifiers because Honeywell also makes engines for MQ-9 Reaper drones as well as other war materiel, including nuclear weapons. “We are now in a new war and our members of Congress can’t even call for a vote on it, much less stop it, because they are responsive only to big arms makers and energy-related companies like Honeywell,” said Nick Mottern, local organizer for the nation-wide Boycott and Divest Honeywell campaign. “It’s time to put pressure on the CEOs who are the real bosses of U.S. politics rather than expecting members of Congress like Nita Lowey and Eliot Engel, who take campaign money from arms makers, to represent our interests.”
