End U.S. drone wars now!
 |
Drones have increasingly become one of the most deadly weapons in the U.S. war machine’s arsenal. The Pentagon’s secretive use of drones against the people of Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and many other nations has led to the deaths of thousands of civilians, all in a cruel attempt to exert imperial control over these countries.
The U.S. functions as a death squad government, permitting the president and military leaders to create secret “kill lists” of people who have been selected for assassination. There is no due process, no trial, no evidence. The individuals are selected to be murdered and they are killed, and many civilians who are nearby also die. Drones are the weapon of choice.
The ANSWER Coalition has been in the streets organizing and demonstrating against drone warfare, including a major national demonstration last year in Washington, D.C. Click here to read reports from last year’s day of action.
The ANSWER Coalition is supporting actions across the country being organized this month by a wide range of anti-war organizations to continue to build the movement against these killing machines. As the drone program expands abroad and drones are used more and more by police and border patrol for repression in the United States itself, it is a crucial time to stand up and fight back. The ANSWER Coalition urges all of its supporters to attend these important events.
