Company Behind #CaliforniaChemicalLeak Was Building #F35 Parts Amid Rush of Orders From #US and #Israel
By Jonah Valdez, 5/28/2026
"The military contractor responsible for a Southern California chemical leak that forced as many as 50,000 people to evacuate their homes over the weekend manufactures parts of F-35 fighter jets likely bound for Israel, The Intercept has learned.
"The #GardenGroveCA, #GKNAerospace plant, whose 7,000-gallon chemical tank ruptured last week and threatened to explode, has brought in more than $13 million since 2017 in subcontracts with military manufacturing giant #LockheedMartin, according to an analysis of federal contract data conducted by the #PalestinianYouthMovement and independently verified by The Intercept. Further analysis of F-35 production for Israel conducted in 2025 by #Ploughshares, a Canadian independent research institute, found that Lockheed doles out subcontracts to hundreds of companies across more than a dozen countries to help build the jets. Among them is GKN Aerospace Transparency Inc., the GKN subsidiary based in Garden Grove, which raked in more than $255 million from subcontracts with Lockheed Martin.
" 'While #GKN chases contracts and profits, our community pays the price with school closures and disrupted livelihoods,' Sarah Awaida, an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement and Garden Grove resident who was evacuated due to the leak, said at a press conference in the city on Tuesday. “And our people abroad pay the price when the same weapon systems produced here are used to massacre people in #Gaza, in #Lebanon, in #Iran and all across the region.'
"Garden Grove is a predominantly #WorkingClass and #immigrant city in Orange County, just outside of Los Angeles. The evacuation order, which has since been lifted, disproportionately affected residents who are #LowerIncome."

I did my third mutual aid table today. This time, instead of setting up in the park, I set-up on the court square at the center of town under a nice shade tree. I gave away half of my clothes and talked to 5 folks. One of them didn't want any clothes. She was curious and has extra clothing in storage that she plans to bring to me.
Of the 4 folks that I had a full conversation with all of them unreservedly expressed anti-capitalist and anti-government sentiment. They took the anti-capitalist and anarchist literature I offered. I got ZERO pushback upon mentioning that I was an anarchist and socialist. This is rural, small-town #Missouri. But these folks that are stopping to talk are also working class folks.
I'm more convinced than ever that rural areas, poor and working class, deserve the attention of anarchist organizers. We can't ignore the #workingclass of #rural middle America. This should be a hot bed of #radical organizing.

Agnes’ writing was championed by Kelman and Gray but she remained mysteriously un-celebrated. “One publisher said people don’t want that kind of writing… about poor people”
