CODEPINK is a women-led and women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement dedicated to stopping the war in Iraq, preventing future wars and redirecting our country’s resources into life-affirming activities: education, health care, veteran’s benefits and social services. We began in the onset to war in Iraq in 2002, as President Bush was telling us all to be afraid: CODE ORANGE! Duct tape your windows shut! CODE YELLOW! Saran-wrap everything in your freezer! We decided we needed to open a space for women to respond with love, humor and spirit: we decided that America needed CODEPINK. We have given “PINK slips” to poor leaders, PINK badges of courage to good ones- we hold vigils and marches, we lobby Congress. We now have 250 local chapters and an e-mailing list of over 80,000 people who receive our weekly alerts. We have just published an inspiring collection of essays from peacemakers around the world, called STOP THE NEXT WAR NOW. Help us stop the war: Join CODEPINK to
