Michael Zagami, the "Business Manager" of IBEW Local 1505 which represents Raytheon workers in Massachusetts, is the Vice President of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO. Zagami wrote in 2021 that “for 75 years, Local 1505 has been a driving force in Raytheon’s success. The relationship provided good jobs both within Raytheon and in many vendor companies in the area.” In 2017, during the union's protest for better wages and healthcare for Raytheon workers in Andover, MA, Zagami said that workers creating "sophisticated weapon systems" should not make less than $15 per hour. These are some of the ways in which trade unions work to preserve the existing capitalist-imperialist system, inducing its labor force to think of themselves as workers within a "trade" rather than as human beings with many alternative possibilities for action and organization including resistance against interlocking systems of violence and oppression.

Since 2018, more than 200 Palestinian sports clubs along with Palestinian civil society have been demanding that sportswear and apparel company PUMA terminate its sponsorship of the Israeli Football Association (IFA), Israel's national soccer league, while calling upon people around the world to impose a boycott against PUMA to pressure the company to do so (see entry on PUMA for details). In 2018, PUMA launched an initiative entitled #REFORM, through which PUMA attempted to positively brand itself as supportive of racial justice and LGBTQ rights. As part of its #REFORM initiative, PUMA created partnerships with a number of American NGOs, including the ACLU. Over the past four years, numerous Palestinian and other Black, Brown, and/or Indigenous employees and interns within the ACLU have repeatedly urged the ACLU to terminate this partnership with PUMA, in order to respect the Palestinian call for an international boycott of the company until PUMA severs its ties with the IFA. The most responsive the ACLU has been to these internal calls for action has been to tell its employees and interns that the ACLU would "mention their concerns" to PUMA, with no commitment to action and no actions taken to date to sever the ACLU's relationship with the company.

UMass Lowell holds a contract with Aramark, which is slated to run until 2030. Aramark is a major entity within the US prison-industrial complex, providing food as well as clothing services to US prisons and jails, including jails that work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain Black and Brown migrants. 

AFSC has reported that the food Aramark sells to prisons harms the incarcerated people who consume it: “The company reduces quantities and has been repeatedly accused of severe health and safety violations, sanitation violations, unauthorized food substitutions, undercooked food, and food shortages." Similarly, the food Aramark sells to UMass Lowell students has been at times disgusting and unsanitary. In 2020, UMass Lowell students reported that the food they were being served wasn't edible, and an investigation found that the food contained “mold, worms, and purple-colored undercooked chicken." UMass Lowell students have shared pictures of “bugs in their pasta, black substances on their lettuce, and worms in their broccoli.” In spite of these grotesque practices at the university, Aramark features UMass Lowell on its website as a successful "case study."

Aramark, a major entity within the prison-industrial complex, provides food services to prisons as well as to universities such as Salem State University. Aramark's contract with Salem State University was announced in 2019.

As reported by WBUR in 2019, "Boston police and federal immigration officials regularly offer information back and forth between the agencies. Often, the agencies are comparing arrest records of individuals accused of non-felony violations — like operating a vehicle without a license and shoplifting — to see if they have potential civil immigration violations, and vice versa." The same WBUR report further claims, "The flow of information between BPD and ICE largely stems from a contract signed in 2014 by then-BPD Commissioner William Evans and a former U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agent, Bruce Foucart. The agreement authorizes the designation of BPD employees to perform the roles and duties of customs officers, with limited exceptions."

As reported by AFSC Investigate, weapons developer L3Harris equips the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) (a sub-agency within DHS) with advanced surveillance technologies, which DHS and ICE use to enforce the US federal government's regime of tracking, detentions, and deportations of Black and Brown migrants.

Over the past decade, L3 Harris has provided DHS and ICE with tens of millions of dollars worth of cell-site simulators, known as "The Stingray," and subsequently provided DHS and ICE with an upgraded version of The Stingray known as "The Crossbow." Stingrays and Crossbows mimic cell phone towers to make cell phones connect to them, allowing DHS and ICE to pinpoint the location of mobile devices or to identify phone numbers in their certain area, thereby enabling DHS and ICE to more effectively track the movements of migrants they wish to target. In 2019, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) awarded L3 Harris a 5-year contract worth a potential $3 billion for "tactical communication networks," extending a contract DHS had previously established with L3 Harris in 2013.

Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have repeatedly used a common tactic to sidestep public scrutiny and work with US immigration agencies, despite employee backlash and some company policies against doing such work. This tactic, in which the companies use third parties or act as subcontractors to sell their technology, has helped these tech giants quietly secure dozens of cloud contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, Insider has found ... From 2015 to 2021, Amazon used third parties to sell its cloud services at least 16 times to ICE and CBP. Google used third parties to sell various cloud and professional tools at least 28 times to these agencies.

In 2019, the state of Massachusetts announced another $50 million project to construct a new women's prison at the Bay State Correctional Center in Norfolk, which would replace MA's dangerous and crumbling MCI-Framingham facility. In 2020, the Massachusetts Department of Corrections and the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance selected HDR to from among architectural firms seeking a contract from the state of MA for the "study and design" of this new women's prison in Norfolk, and in June 2021 the Massachusetts Department of Corrections and the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance signed a contract with HDR for the project. In their bid for the contract for the "study and design" of the state of MA's new prison in Norfolk, HDR attempted to characterize their vision for the new prison as "trauma-informed," a characterization which community members rejected as a crass and offensive attempt to whitewash over the violent realities of caging human beings.

The state of Massachusetts currently has rate contracts with Hewlett Packard, thorugh which municipalities, school systems, and other public entities within Massachusetts can purchase HP products in large quantities at rates pre-negotiated by the state.

The City of Cambridge currently purchases HP products for city offices, schools, and other public building through a contract the city holds with HP distributer WB Mason. The city previously contracted with HP directly for the same purpose.

In May 2021, hundreds of community members in the city of Cambridge MA mobilized in support of a policy order submitted by members of the Cambridge City Council which called upon Cambridge to end its business ties with Hewlett Packard and other companies supporting Israeli apartheid. Cambridge city councilors opposed to this BDS policy order submitted a last minute "substitute policy order" which revised the language of the original policy order by removing HP, drawing false equivalences between Israeli ethnic cleansing and Palestinian resistance while stating that the city should review all of its contracts for violations of human rights. A majority of Cambridge City Councilors voted to replace the original policy order (which hundreds of residents had testified on) with this last-minute, watered-down substitute policy order, after which the city council passed the substitute policy order. 

In March 2022, the Cambridge City Manager responded to the watered-down substitute policy order, claiming that the city was not equipped to make determinations as to which companies were engaged in human rights abuses. Cambridge City Councilor Quinton Zondervan, who sponsored the original policy order, wrote the following in response to the City Manager's decision:

The City Manager has finally responded to the policy order from last term that asked him to identify vendors and manufacturers the city does business with which are in violation of International Human Rights Laws. The administration is effectively refusing to comply, claiming that the council did not provide enough specificity in terms of which purchase orders and which human rights violations were to be reviewed.

This response is unsurprising given the council's effective neutralizing of the initial order, which very specifically called into question the city's purchasing contract with Hewlett Packard over their facilitation of apartheid in Israel via being the exclusive provider of computers that are used to biometrically track Palestinians, deny them access to water and healthcare in the Gaza strip, and imprison them without access to a fair trial. It remains beyond disappointing that a majority of the council refused to directly confront the situation in Israel despite the city's long and storied history of terminating purchasing contracts with companies that facilitate discrimination or other ethically questionable practices, including during South African Apartheid in the 1980s. 

Clearly, the City Manager has no interest in establishing a human rights screen on procurement requests and is conveniently leaning on the council's amendments to absolve himself of any pressure to do so. I particularly take issue with the final line of the city's letter, which states that the city is "not equipped to make adjudications based on mere allegations of such violations". The mistreatment of Palestinians at the hands of the Israeli Government is happening clear as day and we cannot allow ourselves to turn a blind eye to that gross injustice by considering it merely an allegation. To do so is to be complicit in the oppression.

Over the past decade alone, numerous members of the Boston City Council are known to have participated in all-expenses-paid propaganda trips to Israel ("study tours") coordinated by the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of Greater Boston. Participants in the trips include: Edward Flynn, Mark Ciommo, Kim Janey, Matt O'Malley, Tito Jackson, Josh Zakim, Timothy McCarthy, and Andrea Campbell (joined on the trip by her Chief of Staff Elizabeth Pimentel). These Israel junkets have paid dividends for the JCRC and other Boston area Zionist lobbying groups: In the lead-up to a February 2019 Boston City Council hearing on a proposal for the city to disclose, divest, and reinvest the city pension fund holdings, then city councilor Mark Ciommo privately told leadership of organizations backing effort that they should not talk about Palestine if they wished for the proposal to have a chance to succeed.

The JCRC of Greater Boston is the main organizational sponsor behind Boston Partners for Peace. Through Boston Partners for Peace, the JCRC pushes the narrative that "friendship," "cooperation," and "tolerance" can bring an end to (what they falsely label to be) the "conflict" between Palestinians and the Israeli settlers stealing Palestinian land and resources. By pushing this false and offensive narrative, Boston Partners for Peace program attempts to relegate Palestinians to the position of a minority group who can at best aspire toward increased integration into Israel's colonial political framework (a framework premised on their removal and subjugation), rather than an indigenous group who should (and do) aspire toward reclaiming the land and resources that the Zionist entity has stolen from them.

The JCRC of Greater Boston uses Boston Partners for Peace to propagandize this false and harmful narrative to the Boston Area community leaders who attend the JCRC's all-expenses-paid "study tours" (propaganda junkets) to Israel. In 2019, for example, the JCRC of Greater Boston and the New England Jewish Labor Committee partnered to coordinate a "Study Tour" to Israel specifically targeting Boston area labor leadership. Accordingly to the JCRC, participants in this 2019 trip "returned inspired and eager to share their new perspectives with their communities and to support Boston Partners for Peace." Boston Partners for Peace is indeed endorsed by the multiple Boston area labor organizations, including New England Regional Council of Carpenters, SEIU 1199, and IUPAT dc 35.

HDR was contracted by the state of Massachusetts to provide design and architectural support for MA's $45 million project to construct the Middleton Jail and House of Correction in Middleton, MA.

In 2019, the state of Massachusetts announced another $50 million project to construct a new women's prison at the Bay State Correctional Center in Norfolk, which would replace MA's dangerous and crumbling MCI-Framingham facility. In 2020, the Massachusetts Department of Corrections and the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance selected HDR to from among architectural firms seeking a contract from the state of MA for the "study and design" of this new women's prison in Norfolk, and in June 2021 the Massachusetts Department of Corrections and the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance signed a contract with HDR for the project. In their bid for the contract for the "study and design" of the state of MA's new prison in Norfolk, HDR attempted to characterize their vision for the new prison as "trauma-informed," a characterization which community members rejected as a crass and offensive attempt to whitewash over the violent realities of caging human beings. Leslie Credle, who was incarcerated for five years at the MCI-Framingham, stated in response to HDR's bid for the contract: 

There’s no such thing as trauma-informed care in prison. I say that because the atmosphere and environment inside prisons is toxic. When you first walk through the door, you are automatically humiliated, stripped of everything that makes you you ... Even if you have the best built, shiny new jail, the environment and atmosphere are not going to change. You’re traumatizing women every day, inflicting harm on them mentally. We don’t need a new prison. We did a listening tour with 100 formerly incarcerated women. They say prison did nothing for me, nothing to change whatever they thought was wrong.

Formerly-incarcerated community members and allies from the group Families for Justice as Healing (FJAH) wrote an open letter to HDR calling on HDR to step back from the new women's prison project, which FJAH stated is “only intended to destroy black and brown communities." After receiving no response from HDR, FJAH began protesting outside HDR's offices in downtown Boston. Community members leading the fight against the new women's prison HDR is designing have also broadened their fight, are now advocating the MA state legislature pass S. 2030/H.1905, a bill which would place a 5-year moratorium on the "study, plan, design, acquire, lease, search for sites, or construct new correctional facilities" in the state. 

Vice magazine reports that in the face of this swelling community opposition against the new women's prison for which they were bidding, HDR "advertised its social listening services in a report submitted to Massachusetts’ Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM) in September 2020." HDR's offer to surveil and monitor the activists fighting MA's new prison peaked the interest of Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management Project Manager Emmanuel Andrade, who stated in an email to HDR: “We’re intrigued by how HDR would use this communication practice of monitoring and analyzing online conversations in our project. Can HDR share a few examples of how that has been accomplished in recent projects?”
