And Rick Larsen is their accomplice.

Years of unchecked corruption and corporate greed at Boeing led directly to the deaths of at least 346 people.

 

These are not statistics,Folks. They are humans – 346 lives snuffed out so Boeing could cash in.

 

These are some of their names. 👇

A scrolling list of the names of victims killed in the two Boeing 737 Max crashes that killed 346 people in 2018 and 2019.

Boeing lied and withheld information from airlines and pilots about software changes to their 737 MAX planes. They cut corners and “self-regulated” their way past the FAA. When two Boeing 737 MAXes fell out of the sky, killing everyone on board, they had the arrogance to blame it on the pilots – knowing it was their own fault all along.

 

For six years these families have been fighting for justice. This week, the DOJ accepted Boeing’s guilty plea.

 

But Boeing wasn’t charged with killing 346 people or endangering public safety. They were charged with lying to the United States government.

 

The cost of that lie was a $243M fine – or less than 1% of the profits they’ve made since the first crash in 2018.

 

As the saying goes, when the punishment for a crime is a fine, that means it’s legal for a fee.

 

The largest Boeing manufacturing plant in the world is here in my district. Workers at the plant have been bullied and silenced when they tried to do their jobs and address safety concerns in the manufacturing process.

 

Now the DOJ has turned their backs on these families who only want justice and accountability. It’s disgusting.

 

These whistleblowers and victims’ families should have the support of our congressman who sits on the committees that regulate Boeing. But they don’t because Rick Larsen is on their payroll. Help me win this seat and give them a representative who won’t take Boeing’s blood money.

When a criminal conspiracy ends with the taking of human lives, the consequences have to be serious. Boeing executives should personally face prosecution.

 

Boeing is getting away with murder on this deal, and they’ve had a lot of help from Rick Larsen.

 

For years Larsen has worked to water down regulations, convince the FAA to let Boeing “police themselves,” and stonewalled on congressional hearings. Once he even helped them screw union employees out of their pensions.

A graphic featuring a headline and quote from The Stranger referring to an incident on December 13, 2013 in which Rick Larsen issued a press release undermining the Machinists Union with their negotiations with Boeing, which led to the loss of their pensions.

Larsen, who got his start in politics as a lobbyist, has been a faithful lapdog for Boeing for over two decades. And that loyalty comes cheap (relatively speaking). If Boeing can shrug off a $243 million dollar criminal fine, they definitely don’t miss the $132,000 they’ve given Larsen over the years.

 

I’m running for Congress to hold corporate criminals like Boeing accountable, because Rick Larsen WON’T. I will fight for Boeing’s workers and victims of their criminal corruption, and I will get justice for these families.

 

Ballots drop a week from tomorrow. We have our chance to defeat Boeing’s stooge and make history by sending the first ever Green Party member to Congress to fight for working people.

 

My team and I are putting it all on the line. Every dollar we raise between now and August 6th helps us reach another voter we need to win. Can I count on your support today?

 

In solidarity,
