What do Anduril Industries and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) have in common?

Both sit at the intersection of innovation and militarisation.

Our new series with @corporatewatch.bsky.social begins with their stories.

To run an effective campaign, you need to understand who you're up against. At Corporate Watch, we provide trainings on investigating companies for groups organising against corporate power, from local groups to big trade unions. It was a pleasure to run a session for the @tuc.org.uk the other week!

Remember to tell friends and colleagues - esp if they work with potential abortion seekers, Stanton are NOT an abortion clinic. They are closely affiliated with Precious Life and funded by an anti-abortion organisation in USA with the same name. @corporatewatch.bsky.social @enddbelfast.bsky.social
