North Carolina activists push Elbit out of Raleigh

 

Elbit Systems is shutting down its facility in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Elbit, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, had been operating a business called Logos Technologies, which produced aerial surveillance equipment for ICE, Border Patrol, the U.S. military, and various police departments.

Since early 2025, the local group Triangle BDS has targeted the American Asset Corporation, a real estate company that owns the building from which Elbit was operating. Actions included protests, call-in days, community meetings, and the distribution of flyers at locations also owned by American Asset Corporation.

“A simple tactic that really seemed to bother them was flyering the cars at a mall they own,” one activist with the campaign told Mondoweiss.

On October 30, an official from American Asset Corporation informed activists that Elbit had closed the location. Two months later, the protesters were allowed to tour the site and confirmed that the offices had been vacated.

Triangle BDS drew inspiration from activists in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who pushed Elbit out of the city in 2024.  (more...)
