JOIN
BOSTON APRIL DAYS OF ACTION AGAINST
LETHAL
AND SURVEILLANCE DRONES
The world is waking up to the
Obama administration’s dangerous and illegal use of drones for expanding warfare
by targeted assassinations, along with threats to our civil liberties and right
to dissent by increasing drone surveillance and potential armed drones by police
agencies at home.
“April Days of Action”, a
national campaign of counter-drone protests and teach-ins focused on drone
bases, manufacturers and research and training centers, was called to alert the
public and to challenge the escalating threat of drone warfare and
spying.
Not only are lethal drones used
in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, but the US is using drones in Iran,
Syria, and Mali as preparation for possible military intervention and
threatening North Korea with nuclear war. We must stop these acts of war
now!
NO KILLER
DRONES!
NO SPY
DRONES!
HANDS OFF KOREA,
IRAN, SYRIA!
