On February 11, community members from Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard occupied Building 77 to protest the lease of Easy Aerial, an AI drone manufacturer with ties to the Department of Homeland Security and the Israeli military. The protest included chanting and speeches, with additional picketers outside.

DBNY aims to create a militant and organized group to effect change in their community.
