Contact Your Members of Congress: Ban CIA Drone Strikes

Please write to your Members of Congress and ask them to include provisions in the FY 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) banning the CIA from using armed drones and placing the use of all armed drones under the command of the Department of Defense.

Each year Congress passes the NDAA, which authorizes the Department of Defense to conduct its various activities. The U.S. has been using armed drones to target suspected terrorists in communities across North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. Many of those killed have been innocent civilians. The Department of Defense provides some accountability by releasing public information on its policies for using armed drones, and DoD often reports, when pressured, when its drone strikes kill civilians. On the other hand, the CIA has never even officially confirmed its use of armed drones. By refusing to provide details on its drone attacks, including how many people (civilian or combatant) it has killed or is planning to kill, the CIA has freely ordered hundreds of drones strikes wherever and whenever it wants.

Ask Your Members of Congress: Ban CIA Drone Strikes

Subject: Ban CIA drone strikes

Message:

Dear Member of Congress, Please include language banning the CIA from carrying out drone strikes in the National Defense Authorization Act and placing all armed drone activity conducted by the United States in the hands of the Department of Defense. Over the past two decades the CIA has used armed drones to carry out hundreds of secret attacks in multiple countries. The CIA has never officially confirmed its use of armed drones and Congress has never specifically authorized it. Public debate over the use of armed drones by the U.S. isn't possible under these conditions because the CIA refuses to provide details on where it has carried out attacks or how many people (civilian or combatant) it has killed. My faith leads me to believe that the U.S. can and should lead the world in setting norms, standards, and accountability with the use of armed drones. Allowing the CIA to secretly use armed drones to kill people in multiple foreign countries is undemocratic and it is wrong. Thank you,
