Activists Blockade Raytheon Weapons Facility in Rhode Island 
-------------------------------------------------------------

Early this morning, activists with the FANG Collective blockaded the
entrances to the Raytheon facility in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. The
group was protesting weapon sales to Saudi Arabia and Israel, and
Raytheon's involvement in the militarization of U.S. immigration policy
and the U.S.-Mexico border. Among other things, Raytheon missiles have
been linked to the killing of civilians in Yemen.
