ORGANIZE! Build the National Network Against Drones

We had a great network-building session at the 2013 CODEPINK Drone Summit "Drones Around the Globe: Proliferation and Resistance" (Nov 16/17).

To join the US national network against drones go to the opt-in page for the Network to Stop Drone Surveillance and Warfare (NSDSW). We plan a comprehensive email blast around December 20, and we want to make sure you're on our list!

MOREOVER . . . in our time together in DC, we strengthened our ability to support each other in our common endeavors, particularly:

(1) protests against existing and planned drone bases and command centers
(2) college and university outreach
(3) high school education
(4) organizing in communities with drone manufacturing
(5) press outreach
(6) online tools

. . . as well as other areas.

SO . . . please give some thought to two questions:

* do you have expertise, experience, resources specific to one (or more) of those 6 areas mentioned?

* would you be willing to commit time to an ongoing effort to share expertise, experience, resources specific to one (or more) of those 6 areas mentioned?

Planning will begin soon for spring protests (April Days of Action Against Drones 2014)!

Thank you and best regards,

Many of us who weren't in Pakistan to participate in the massive rally against U.S. drone strikes participated in this protest by holding rallies where we were (for instance, in London), or by participating virtually via the #PakistanAgainstDrones campaign on Twitter.
