This June, the United States Congress is considering passing the Countering CCP Drones Act, a law that would prevent new DJI drones from being sold in the U.S. and could stop people from using their existing drones. This could have a big impact on education companies, like Black Girl Drone World, who use DJI drones for classes and coding.
DJI drones are easy for kids to use, and losing access to them would be a huge loss. If this law passes, it could make it harder for kids to learn and explore with drones.
To ensure this law does not pass, we need to speak up now. DJI has asked us to make our voices heard by filling out a form and sending an email to your lawmakers asking them to say no to H.R. 2864, the Countering CCP Drones Act. It’s important to let Congress know how valuable DJI drones are for kids’ education and development.
You can help by sending an email to Congress using a pre-filled letter provided by DJI Global and share the campaign on social media to help spread the word.
If you want to continue using DJI drones, it’s important to take action now. Let’s make sure kids have access to this valuable learning tool!
