WHO: Nadia Milleron, mother of Samya Rose Stumo, who was killed in the March 10, 2019 crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 onboard a Boeing 737 Max. Supporters at the press conference will display pictures of the victims.

WHAT: Illinois needs to pass HB 4968, which will hold companies, including Boeing, responsible for punitive damages when they cause people to die. Boeing must be held responsible for the deaths aboard the 737 Max.

Milleron's daughter, Samya, was one of 157 people who died because the Boeing 737 Max 8 they were flying on was unsafe — and should never have been allowed into service. Their deaths came after the loss of Lion Air Flight 610, another 737 Max that crashed minutes after takeoff, killing all 189 passengers and crew members.

A month after the Indonesian crash, the mother of the Lion Air pilot, Captain Bhavye Suneja, raised an alarm, that no Boeing 737 MAX training was imparted to the pilots, yet Boeing or FAA did nothing, and the callousness lead to second crash, wasting the sacrifice of Lion aircrew and passengers.

Boeing, headquartered in Chicago, built a defective plane, concealed problems with the 737 Max from the Federal Aviation Administration and pilots, and deliberately moved forward with a flawed design. All while spending company profits to boost stock prices and executive pay.
