Ground the Drones Week of Action: 6 - 13 October 2012
Drone Campaign Network | 18.09.2012 17:09 | Afghanistan | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World
US, British and Israeli drones have killed hundreds of innocent civilians in Pakistan, Somalia, Yeman, Afghanistan and Gaza. These pilot-less killing machines are fuelling anger and terrorism around the world, endangering us all, and are paving the way for a future in which robots make "decisions" to kill with no human oversight. Next month, campaigners from around the UK will be taking part in a week of action to oppose the growing menace of drone warfare.
Events include a week-long peace walk from Shenstone to RAF Waddington (

Plan your action now:
- organise a street stall (free leaflets, posters and briefings available here: http://tinyurl.com/woaresources)
- join the anti-drone peace walk ( http://tinyurl.com/dronespeacewalk)
- organise a protest at a site connected to the drones (see the map on p.3 of this on-line PDF file: http://tinyurl.com/dronesitesmap)
- hold a public meeting on the issue (email
info@dronecampaignnetwork.org.uk if you'd like the Network to provide a speaker)
and e-mail the Drone Campaign Network ( info@dronecampaignnetwork.org.uk) so they can help publicise it.
The Week of Action is organised by the Drone Campaign Network.
