The other night we took action against Magellan Aerospace in Corona, Queens, NY, smashing all 7 windows and spray painting our messages: MAG KILLS KIDS, and GAZA REMEMBERS. As far as we know, this is the 5th time this location has been targeted in the last 2 years. We won’t rest until Magellan, and ALL war mongering, genocidal companies either leave NY, or go up in smoke!
Protest, activism, and organizing must extend beyond responding to attacks! Quoting Sun Tzu, “You can prevent your opponent from defeating you through defense, but you cannot defeat him without taking the offensive.”
Take regenerative action! If not you, then who. If not now, then when?
Build resilience to repression. Repression breeds resistance, but only if we try!
FREE PALESTINE! and Palestine is freeing us.
Magellan Aerospace is an aircraft manufacturing company. In addition to various weapons components, they’ve been producing tail assemblies for F-35s for over a decade, as part of the F-35 supply chain spanning parts factories across 25 countries. Fighter jets are weapons of mass destruction, supplied to terrorist white supremacist entities, like the US and “israel”, to wage genocide on Palestine, and a global war of terror against resistance and anti-colonial movements.
Magellan has facilities in Canada, UK and across the US, with 3 buildings right here in Corona, Queens, This is military infrastructure embedded in a civilian area, in the heart of an immigrant neighborhood, surround by houses, with pre-k, elementary, and middle schools on the same block!
In addition to the Queens facilities, there are 2 locations in Long Island, NY. All 3 have received taxpayer funded grants through NY’s Empire State Development program. Governor Hochul in particular has been pushing NY to be a major developer of aerospace and AI tech, which are in fact WMDs.
Magellan is majority owned and chaired by N. Murray Edwards, a Canadian oil sands and mining billionaire worth over $2.7 billion, responsible for polluting waterways in one of Canada’s worst mining disasters, in Mount Polley, BC. Magellan also rakes in over $1 billion in annual revenue, growing rapidly every year. This multinational corporation should not be robbing taxpayers to subsidize their profits!
