- Lockheed Martin

Ten people were arrested on August 6 at Lockheed Martin in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania for attempting a Citizen's Disarmament Inspection. The group started at the exterior of the front entrance and was able to walk the length of the facility (with police and Lockheed Martin security on their heels the entire time) before being denied entrance again at the rear of the arms giant. When they persisted in the inspection attempt, the ten were arrested, charged with trespass, and released on citation. Notoriously, it has been many years since such nonviolent actions have resulted in prosecution.
