Chicago protest outside the Boeing Company's world headquarters.

Chicago, IL – Elizabeth Parisian of the group Stand Up, Chicago, stood outside the Boeing Company's world headquarters in Chicago. 30 protesters attempted to deliver a letter to Boeing CEO W.

Most of their contracts are for weapons, such as fighter jets, attack helicopters and spy drones.
