Code Pink Tampa Bay's Interests
General
CLICK ON the following pic to get to the National Code Pink site:
PEACE and SOCIAL JUSTICE!
“ We call on women around the world to rise up and oppose the war in Iraq. We call on mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters, on workers, students, teachers, healers, artists, writers, singers, poets and every ordinary outraged woman willing to be outrageous for peace. Women have been the guardians of life—not because we are better or purer or more innately nurturing than men, but because the men have busied themselves making war. Because of our responsibility to the next generation, because of our own love for our families and communities and this country that we are a part of, we understand the love of a mother in Iraq for her children and the driving desire of that child for life” Starhawk

"CODEPINK is not an organization but a phenomenon: a sensibility reflecting feminist analysis and a campy playfulness." The Nation, 03/2003
CODEPINK is a Women's Peace Movement! This SPACE is for CODEPINK activists in the Tampa Bay area--that means both sides of the Bay and beyond. We cover Pasco, Pinellas, Hillsborough counties and from time to time, we will note PEACE EVENTS and HAPPENINGS outside of those counties if we are participating or aligned with the organizers in some way. We will also note PEACE EVENTS being organized and facilitated by other local PEACE GROUPS.

Thanks for the add. ¶ People hear only what they want, so facts alone won't wake them; they'll need inspiration too. An echo of an echo of Buddha or Jesus becomes encrusted in ritual, and loses context and content. Still, we write what we can. Listen most carefully to people's questions. ¶ This world's diverse evils have a common root: Bullies, liars, thieves, and murderers — in market, government, and elsewhere — believe we're all separate, motivated only by self-interest, greed, fear. They want us to share that belief, for they use it to justify themselves, to keep us apart, to control politics and the economy, perpetuating war and poverty. Their power comes not so much from cabals as from trojan memes, ubiquitous propaganda, implicit in ads and in their framing of the news. ¶ But they're mistaken about our motives. You and I have found love inside ourselves and our friends. It's in everyone, if we can just wake them, for we're all one flesh and blood. Let's spread that vision, for until we do our other advances will be minor and temporary. The bureacracy of brutality cannot stand if we waken its workers. ¶ The ideological battle between love and fear will shape the world. Its outcome is not yet written. Watching, voting, shopping are not enough. If you haven't already, join the global conversation about what we all can become, in whatever way feels right for you. Worldwide enlightenment has no precedent, no rules; we must discover and erase them en route. Make love not war is as serious as Orwell and as light as "Chocolat." For a start, just talk with people; that may not sound like much, but really it's huge. ¶ Each of us knows only part of the song. Keep singing, hoping, resisting, questioning. Hand in hand, we may heal this world yet. — Eric

Last week, Congressman Dennis Kucinich delivered a petition bearing more than 100,000 names to the Speaker of the House urging that impeachment proceedings begin into the conduct of President Bush. In a special video message (listed in address above), Dennis is asking for your help to deliver an even more powerful message to Congress when it reconvenes in September.
With new disclosures that the Administration tried to "cook the books at the CIA" by creating a phony, forged link between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, "We cannot step back and let this President escape accountability." If you have already signed the impeachment petition at www.kucinich.us, thank you. If you haven't, please do. And, in the next few weeks, please ask just one more person to sign so we can let the members of Congress hear our collective demand that they meet their obligation to uphold the Constitution.
Dear Code Pink Tampa Bay: World Peace Before 2021 is honored to be YourFriend. My eight-year-old-peace-activist son Axil’s quest for World Peace Before 2021 is gaining momentum! I'm so proud of him. Please embrace him AND his song "World Peace Before 2021" which he sings beautifully. His performance can be seen on MySpace, his webpage worldpeacebefore2021.com and/or YouTube (by searching his name Axil Kollist.) It is my intention to post a new video of him singing his song every few months so people can watch his talent grow as impressively as the momentum for his quest! Best regards, Axil Kollist’s mom
