| Following Alaska Airlines' terrifying mid-flight blowout last week, The Lever's reporting uncovered a shocking federal lawsuit in which workers alleged that the Boeing subcontractor responsible for the faulty part was repeatedly warned about safety problems and instructed employees to falsify records. This revelation is even more concerning when paired with the fact that Boeing and its subcontractor have used their deep pockets and D.C. connections to pave the way for increased production efforts and looser safety regulations. These efforts are putting all of us at risk. Action must be taken. TAKE ACTION NOW: Sign The Lever's open letter to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) demanding a thorough investigation into Boeing and its suppliers. When you sign, you'll also be added to The Lever's free newsletter, to keep you updated on critical stories like this (you can unsubscribe at any time). This breaking news cuts directly to the core of corporate and government corruption and the lack of accountability of those in power. The Lever holds the powerful accountable through tireless, reader-supported investigative journalism that corporate media will not do. Major outlets, including Democracy Now!, NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, CBS News, The Daily Mail, and NBC News, picked up our reporting on this matter. Now federal regulators say they are looking into the Boeing subcontractor that The Lever's reporting first implicated just days before. All of this illustrates the power of The Lever's investigative reporting and our ability to move the needle. SIGN NOW: Tell Secretary Pete and the FAA to stand up to Boeing, demand safety, and push back on regulatory exemptions. When you sign, you'll also be added to The Lever's free newsletter, to keep you updated on critical stories like this (you can unsubscribe at any time). Rock the boat.
