Online Tools, Resources, and Platforms Supporting the Movement to Stop Drone Warfare and Surveillance

We had a great network-building session at the 2013 CODEPINK Drone Summit "Drones Around the Globe: Proliferation and Resistance" (Nov 16/17). A group is forming to expand the available online tools, resources, and platforms for supporting the movement to stop drone warfare and surveillance.

Below is a quick guide to some existing tools.

State-by-state Groups and Corresponding Websites

There are active groups in most states working on the drone issue.  Many maintain one or more website specific to their work on drones; a number of sites have also been set up with the assistance of the No Drones Network to give as much visibility as possible to the work of these groups. Find a group near you by consulting the state-by-state list and getting involved!


E-mail Blasts

We are working toward having a good list of people participating in these efforts nationwide. Please add your name to the list by going to the opt-in page for the Network to Stop Drone Surveillance and Warfare (NSDSW).


Social Media, News Groups, List-serves and Forums

There is a Facebook group for people at the grass-roots working to stop drones: STOP! the Drone Killing Grassroots Coalition

There is a large community that tweets about drones using the #drones and #nodrones hashtags. We have begun a list of the most responsive tweeters/retweeters: twitter.com/NoDronesNetwork/lists/nodrones

CODEPINK curates a news list on the Global Drones Watch website.

There are several listserves.  For instance, to subscribe/unsubscribe, go to https://lists.riseup.net/www/sigrequest/nodrones - if you are having trouble, please just email nodronesinfo@gmail.com

In addition, there is discussion of developing an online forum dedicated to the work of the no-drones movement.


NSDSW Wiki

The newest project of the NSDSW is a wiki to allow the broadest possible participation by people in the drone opposition movement in assembling and sharing resources.
