PREVENT WAR IN IRAN!
CODEPINK has put a new face on women's activism with a fierceness and creativity that would make Susan B. Anthony grin and blush all at the same time. Unlike our feminist foremothers who chose message above fashion and “Ms.†over “Mademoiselle,†CODEPINK has invented a cheeky new chic. It's the activist equivalent of Victoria Secrets Catalogue meets the Nation Magazine - employing flash and femininity to promote socio-political change.

CODEPINK is renting a beautiful house in DC for a year so we can support our ongoing peace presence in the halls of Congress. We are committed to ending the Iraq war and bringing our troops home by the end of the year, and having a home base in DC will help us do just that.

In this photo are the women who stayed at the house during the first week--they're pointing to the space in the middle and asking... will you join us?
The people voted in November 2006 to end the war in Iraq, yet Congress is poised to approve another $93 billion, and then yet another $145 billion, for war. Join us to stop them from making this terrible mistake by participating in our recently launched broad and exciting Don't Buy Bush's War Campaign. We need to flood the offices, halls, sidewalks and streets of Congress with people opposed to the war from now through this Fall. We're asking for your help to get people to Washington DC and to do similar actions locally.

CodePink Film: "Women Say NO to War: Iraqi & American Women Speak Out"
This DVD includes:Mother’s DayMother’s Day, a 40-minute documentary by filmmaker and journalist Diane Mason, weaves the historic origins of Mother’s Day into a contemporary exploration of women united to end war. More than a century after Julia Ward Howe’s stirring call for a Mother’s Day for Peace, thousands gather with actress Susan Sarandon and activist Cindy Sheehan in Washington, D.C. on Mother’s Day 2006 for the Women for Peace vigil. Howe’s eloquent proclamation resonates among the women assembled and the grieving mothers at home as they respond to the charge, “We, the women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.â€
Iraqi Women Speak Out In March 2006, CODEPINK invited eight Iraqi women to the U.S. to speak about their experiences under the U.S. invasion and occupation. They were doctors, engineers, professors, and journalists. Two of the women had their entire families killed by U.S. troops. They were denied visas to enter the U.S. on the grounds that they did not have sufficient family to guarantee they would return to Iraq. The six women who were given visas traveled separately to dozens of cities throughout the U.S., speaking with community groups, churches, veterans, and families of active duty GIs. The remarkable courage of these women and the authenticity of their witness to the horrendous reality of the occupation challenges Americans to take responsibility for the actions of the U.S. government and force an end to the brutal, illegal, and immoral occupation of Iraq.

Julia Ward Howe’s inspirational 1870 Proclamation against the carnage of the Civil War:
"Arise then...women of this day!
Arise, all women who have hearts!…
Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage,
For caresses and applause.
Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.
We, the women of one country,
Will be too tender of those of another country
To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs."
From the voice of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with our own.
It says: "Disarm! Disarm"

"Before this all started, I used to think that one person couldn't make a difference... but now it's clear, one person who has the backing and support of millions of people can make a huge difference."
Cindy Sheehan from Camp Casey
