September 30, 2013The Obama administration has vastly increased U.S. use of weaponized and surveillance drones, especially in the Middle East, as part of its expansion of special operations and targeted killing. Across national borders, and in violation of international law, Reapers, Predators, and Golden Hawks are a growing face of the war on terror, having caused the deaths of thousands.
The Network to Stop Drone Surveillance and Warfare is organizing protest within the U.S. for November 2013:
* Friday, November 15: Protest at General Atomics in Washington, DC, a major manufacturer of drones. We are calling for actions around the country at other manufacturers.
* Saturday/Sunday, November 16/17: Drones Around the Globe: Proliferation and Resistance (Registration and Program) Washington DC the weekend of November 16-17, 2013. Organized by CODEPINK, Institute for Policy Studies, The Nation Magazine, and National Lawyers Guild (Georgetown Chapter), coordinated actions will compliment and support the gathering.
