Hang Up on Motorola! Demo at Verizon
Activists took a stand for human rights in front of a Verizon Store in Santa Clara, California on March 30. Verizon carries Motorola cell phones and stylish accessories but Motorola is guilty of making military guidance systems and fuses used in a variety of bombs which they then sell to the Israeli army.
Demonstrators passed out flyers calling for a boycott against Motorola.
Demands include:
--End production and sales of fuses and other weapons components to Israel.
--End sales of communication devices to Israel (The *Mountain Rose Communication System* that Motorola designed for the Israeli military enables military invasions and a regime of over 600 checkpoints that prevent Palestinians from getting to school, work and hospitals in the Occupied Palestinian Territories).
--End sales of all products that support Israel's separation barrier and settlements (including the *Wide Area Surveillance Sytem* manufactured by Motorola-Israel).
