The United States Congress is currently considering the Countering CCP Drones Act (H.R. 2864 and S.4792) which would prevent new DJI products from coming to market in the United States and would potentially revoke FCC authorizations for existing drones. You read that right: this bill aims to prevent you from buying the latest DJI drones and could potentially ground your existing drones, regardless of how you use them!

Unfortunately, this bad idea is gaining traction. The House of Representatives included the Countering CCP Drones Act in their draft of the FY 2025 National Defense Authorization Act, and a companion bill was recently introduced in the Senate for the first time. To protect our industry and ensure that drone users can select the best drones for the job, we need to vocally oppose this bill. The good news is that there is still time to speak out and tell your lawmakers to oppose this potentially industry crippling bill, but please don’t delay. Take just 30 seconds to fill out the short form and send an email to your members of Congress urging them to oppose the Countering CCP Drones Act today!

Put bluntly, this bill would have a massive negative impact on millions of Americans who use drones for public safety, commercially and recreationally. It would hamper public safety efforts, putting lives on the line, and drastically reduce the drone market, leading to rising costs and product shortages for all users. 

If you want to continue to have affordable drone options to support your public safety efforts, small business or your hobby, then you need to make your voices heard TODAY and tell Congress to oppose this misguided bill! We’ve provided a pre-filled letter to send, but we recommend you customize it with your own reasons for why you oppose this bill. For example, if you’re a service provider using DJI drones, tell them how you would be impacted if you could not use your drones.

To really make an impact we’ve also made it easy for you to call your Congressional offices. This may seem like more work, but it makes an enormous difference and they put a lot of consideration into issues that constituents call in about. All you have to do is click the call tab and follow the prompts. In as little as 5 minutes you can really send a message!

Please use a personal email address. A .GOV, agency or municipal email address is not appropriate for advocacy communications. After you’ve sent your email, you can use the social media sharing option to share the campaign to your feeds and double your impact!
