According to Honeywell’s own estimates, their technologies are in more than 150 million homes worldwide. Their products include everything from home heating and security devices, to household medical equipment, backup generators and footwear.
We call on consumers to boycott all Honeywell products until they end all existing contracts to build and manage nuclear weapons and commit to rejecting all future nuclear weapon contracts.
By boycotting Honeywell’s consumer and commercial products we can stigmatize them as nuclear weapons profiteers. Honeywell relies on the idea that they will be recognized by their household consumers as helpful purveyors of thermostats, fans, and home security systems, rather than as key manufacturers of nuclear weapons. We can change this! Manufacturing nuclear weapons is not just immoral, it is now illegal under international law. Through bad publicity and consumer boycotts directed at Honeywell we can put pressure on Honeywell to leave the industry.
As long as Honeywell International can get away with it, they will continue to manufacture nuclear weapons. But we the people can demand they stop. Join us, both to avoid being complicit in U.S. nuclear weapons yourself and to send Honeywell the message that Americans will not tolerate those who corrupt our democracy and profit from weapons of Armageddon.
Here are some steps YOU can take to help pressure Honeywell out of the nuclear weapons industry.
-
Make a commitment to boycott all Honeywell consumer products. For a complete list of their products check out their website here. If you are a business owner, you can take it to the next level by refusing to sell any Honeywell products or purchase any Honeywell services (e.g. security systems) for your business.
-
Write directly to Honeywell and demand that they stop producing nuclear weapons. Tell them that nuclear weapons are not only immoral, they are illegal and that you will continue to boycott their products until they leave the nuclear weapons industry. For model letter and contact information for Honeywell facilities click here.
-
Share your decision with friends and on social media. Share our memes with the hashtag #boycotthoneywell and #nuclearban.
-
Organize a demonstration outside a nearby Honeywell location to demand they leave the nuclear weapons industry. Contact us so we can publicize your action!
How is Honeywell involved in the nuclear weapons industry?
Honeywell manages and operates the National Security Campus in Kansas which produces approximately 85 percent of the non-nuclear components for the US nuclear weapons fleet[1]. Honeywell is also involved in the management and operation of the Sandia National Laboratory, one of three labs involved in the design and manufacturing of modernized US nuclear weapons. Honeywell co-owns Savannah River Nuclear Solutions with Fluor and Huntington Ingalls, which manages and operates the Savannah River Site (SRS) and Savannah National Laboratories (SNL) in South Carolina where many of the US nuclear weapons were historically manufactured. Today the SRS manufactures tritium, which is an essential component in nuclear weapons and oversees the environmental management and removal of excess nuclear material. Honeywell also produces components for the US and UK Trident II missile system. In 2017, Mission Support and Test Services, a limited liability corporation owned by Honeywell International, Jacobs Engineering and Stoller Newport News Nuclear, took over the management and operation of the Nevada National Security Site, previously known as the Nevada Test Site where over 1000 nuclear weapons were tested. Today the NNSS is a primary location for nuclear weapons experiments and simulations, and the operation of numerous global and homeland security programs.
In addition to making nuclear weapons, Honeywell is involved in a range of other activities that harm human health and the environment. They build drones, make equipment used in Fracking and Tar Sands Mining, and manufacture key technology and munition sold to the Israeli military. For more information on these activities click here. US politicians are also in the pocket of Honeywell. During the 2018 election cycle Honeywell contributed $5,896,277 to candidates and super pacs and between 2017-2018 Honeywell spent $9,780,000 to lobby politicians.
