James Cropper PLC produces parts for Israel's F-35 warplanes at their factory in Burneside, just outside Kendal. Although the company is known for making luxury paper products, it plays a vital role in Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people.  

​

Residents, workers and organisations in Cumbria and Lancashire have been demanding James Cropper PLC halt their involvement in the F-35 project through petitions, actions and conversations with workers at the factory.​​​ We are telling the company to "make paper not planes", stop their complicity in genocide, and invest in other products which will secure jobs and livelihoods for people in South Lakeland. 

​​

You can buy a share in the company and attend the shareholder meeting (AGM) on Wednesday 3rd September 2025- to add to the pressure on the bosses and owners of James Cropper plc:

• Buy a share in the company (it costs about £10) and attend the meeting to ask questions, and raise your voice,

• Even if you can't attend in person, you can buy a share for someone else to be able to attend the meeting,

• There will be a demonstration outside the shareholder meeting, in Burneside
