Stop Volkswagen’s dangerous new deal

Why is this important?

Volkswagen built its reputation making cars. Now they want to build war machines. [1] 

Eight billion euros in profits isn’t enough, so they’re considering manufacturing parts for Israeli military technology. A new deal means they would make parts for the Iron Dome - a critical tool for Netanyahu’s war chest. [2]

Deadly air strikes. Unlawful use of white phosphorus in Lebanon. Children killed in Gaza. If Volkswagen agrees to this deal, they are complicit. [3] We need them to hear from us - Europe should not become a hub fuelling illegal wars.

Volkswagen is still recovering from the Dieselgate scandal. They’re under fire for plans to cut over 10,000 factory jobs. [4] Now, they want to sweep their plans to profit from war under the rug. 

We don’t have long to force Volkswagen to stop this deadly deal. And the fastest way to make them listen is by damaging what they depend on most: their brand.

If people start speaking out against VW, bosses start to panic. If trust in the brand falls, people will stop buying its cars - and they will lose a lot of money. 

Volkswagen still has a choice. We won’t let them build war machines.
