Dear Naresh,
Sign our petition to curtail US drone strikes in Yemen and repatriate Yemenis detained in Guantanamo, which I'll deliver to the US Ambassador to Yemen next week.
Take Action
Moving the US drone program from the CIA to the Pentagon. Ending signature strikes that target people whose identities are unknown. Repatriating Guantanamo detainees who have been cleared for release. These are some of the policy changes that President Obama expressed interest in making during his speech a few weeks ago—and they all directly affect Yemenis. [1] That's why I'm going to Yemen next week on a Code Pink delegation. By meeting with Yemenis affected by these policies, as well as officials who have sway over how these policies are implemented, we hope to increase the pressure on President Obama to turn his words into action.
Here's how you can help make my trip to Yemen a success:
