CAMPAIGN LAUNCH!
On Monday, TAWC sent a letter to the Tucson Festival of Books Board Chair, John Humenik, and Executive Director, Abra McAndrew, to demand that the Tucson Festival of Books (TFOB) refuse Raytheon’s sponsorship and not allow them space at the festival in 2027 and beyond.
The letter from TAWC included more than 100 signatories, including authors, progressive organizations, local businesses, and community members. McAndrew responded and confirmed the letter was received and will be shared with the board before their final quarterly meeting of the year.
TAWC is now launching their “Raytheon Out!” campaign urging the board to reject Raytheon as a sponsor for future festivals.
