WHAT IS DRAPER LABS?
Draper Laboratories is the U.S. Navy’s prime contractor for all
guidance-related engineering. It researches and develops systems for
Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, Polaris, Trident MK6 and Minuteman.
The projects of Draper Labs include the militarization of space and Special
Operations.
WHAT ARE WE ASKING?
Draper Labs states its mission is “to serve the national interest,” however
our national interest is not served through the funneling of our nation’s
money and resources into the development of weapons and technology of death.
The money and resources that are currently allocated to Draper Labs need to
be redistributed to programs that feed the hungry, care for the sick,
shelter the homeless and clothe the naked. Our national interest is served
through providing for those in need. In this city, schools are closing for
lack of funding, healthcare is available to only a few, social services are
being cut, yet the defense industry and its contractors have access to
obscene amounts of money and resources. We are asking Draper Labs to stop
the planning of death, work for life, and serve our real national interests.
