@SenatorCollins, Why Keep Civilian #Drone Deaths Secret?

Dear peace lover,

These Yemeni activists know who is being killed in their country by U.S. drone strikes. Do you? Share it on Twitter! Share on Facebook!

When the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence passed a provision requiring the Obama Administration to publicly report on who is being killed by U.S. drone strikes, Senator Susan Collins voted NO.

The U.S. counts civilians it thinks have been killed by drones in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, but they won’t reveal to taxpayers what that number is. Could it be because our government doesn’t want us to know the number of innocent people going about their daily business who are killed by drones?

Urge Senator Collins to drop her opposition to public reporting on who is being killed by drone strikes by signing our petition.

If you couldn't attend the 2013 CODEPINK Global Drone Summit, check out the C-SPAN coverageof the summit, or read this article by summit speaker Marjorie Cohn. CODEPINK also hosted a Congressional briefing, featuring delegates from Yemen who told first-hand accounts of life under drones. Maine Representative Chellie Pingree attended the historic briefing, as well as staffers from over 40 Congressional offices (thanks to everyone who urged their reps to attend!).

Urge Senator Collins to drop her opposition to public reporting on who is being killed by drone strikes by signing our petition.

Then, take further action!
1. Share this drone fact sheet with friends, colleagues & family.

2. Get a CODEPINK “Drone Free Zone” t-shirt inpink or gray!

3. Keep up to date with the latest drone news on Global Drones Watch.

Thanks for your actions to hold our government accountable on the use of drones.
Onward toward a drone-free world,

Pat Taub, Lisa Savage, and the rest of the CODEPINK team in Maine
