Howmet Accountability Project has learned that Howmet Aerospace is sponsoring the EQT 10 Miler – a race organized by P3R. We sent this letter to P3R to enlist their help in appealing to Howmet to cancel their contract with Lockheed Martin.
If you are a member of P3R or have run in their races in the past, help us encourage them to use their relationship with Howmet to pressure them to cancel their contract with Lockheed Martin.
You can contact P3R via this form on their website, email them at info@p3r.org, or call them at 412-586-7785 and tell them we don’t want our local community events associated with genocide.
Here’s a sample message to P3R:
Hello, I am [a runner / a member / a Pittsburgher] and it has come to my attention that P3R is affiliated with Howmet Aerospace, a locally based titanium manufacturer that has a contract with Lockheed Martin to produce parts for the F-35 fighter jet. I do not want my participation in charitable races to be tainted by a relationship with a war profiteer.
P3R, will you use your relationship with Howmet Aerospace to communicate that they need to cancel their contract with Lockheed Martin?
Howmet is a manufacturer based in the North Side of Pittsburgh. They make specialty titanium aerospace parts and sell them to weapons manufacturer Lockheed Martin. Lockheed uses those parts to build F-35 fighter jets, which are sold to Israel and are currently bombing civilians in Gaza.
Pittsburgh BDS demands that Howmet cut ties with Lockheed!
