Activists in Porto Allegre, Brazil, block the factory of AEL Sistemas, a 
subsidiary of Elbit Systems.

On 21 December, movements from 11 countries took part in the first ever 
Global Day of Action Against Elbit Systems.

>From Brazil to Japan, Belgium to Australia, Britain to the United 
States, activists targeted Israel's largest arms manufacturer, its 
subsidiaries, its partners, and its financiers.

Activists in Bristol, the UK, kicked off the Global Day of Action with a 
blockade of an Elbit Systems factory in the city.

people, and an important strategic target for progressive forces.

Activists in Brussels, Belgium, targeted 11 banks that fund Elbit Systems.

Together with Palestine Action, Samidoun, and other organizations, the 
Progressive International called for a Global Day of Action Against 
Elbit Systems to coincide with verdicts issued against the "Elbit Eight" 
— eight actionists ontrial for their direct actions against the company. 
On Friday, two of the actionists were acquitted

Palestine Action showed that it is possible to resist imperialism from 
within. We called a day of action because it is Elbit, not those who 
stand up to resist it, that is guilty.
