From: Joshua Schott <jdsch...@stanford.edu> Join ten Stanford student organizations for a rally in White Plaza on Tuesday May 21st from 12 PM - 1 PM to raise awareness about the increasing use of drone warfare throughout the Middle East, South Asia, Central Asia, and Africa and the research being done at Stanford contributing to the development of drones. The use of drones has inflicted severe hardship on the subjected civilian populations of these regions particularly in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen. The use of drones has killed many civilians (only 2% of drone victims are high level "militant" targets), inflicted direct property damage, economic hardship, mental health problems, inhibited education opportunities, impacted burial traditions and willingness to attend funerals, harmed community trust, and impacted many other economic, social and cultural activities. We cannot be silent on this issue. Join us.
