About me:

Yes We Can, Can End All Wars



What is CODEPINK?
CODEPINK is a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education, green jobs and other life-affirming activities. CODEPINK rejects foreign policies based on domination and aggression, and instead calls for policies based on diplomacy, compassion and a commitment to international law. With an emphasis on joy and humor, CODEPINK women and men seek to activate, amplify and inspire a community of peacemakers through creative campaigns and a commitment to non-violence.


Why women?
CODEPINK is not exclusively women — we invite men to join us — but we are particularly eager to see mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters, female workers, students, teachers, healers, artists, writers, singers, poets and all outraged woman rise up and oppose the war in Iraq. 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, it is time we women devote ourselves — wholeheartedly — to the business of making peace.


CODEPINK has expanded its work into the following areas:

Peacemaking and militarism

- Supporting the International Occupation Watch Center in Baghdad
- Sending peace delegations to Israel-Palestine, North & South Korea, Burma, Iran, Afghanistan, and Iraq

Life-affirming economic priorities

- Books not Bombs in support of local libraries

Civil liberties

- Education and advocacy of grassroots efforts to prevent passage of Patriot Act II

Environmental sustainability

- Advocacy of more fuel efficient cars
- Support efforts to close Indian Point nuclear power plant in New York

Responsible Media and Reporting

- Preserve diversity, localism, and competition
- Work to stop the implementation of the FCC ownership rulings

Elections and Voter Registration

- Encourage women and other minorities to register to vote

Join a local CODEPINK group or start your own! There are over 250 local CODEPINK groups throughout the US and overseas. Each groups acts autonomously and does its own dreaming and scheming. Groups may hold weekly vigils, unfurl banners over freeways or organize educational events, or hold sit-ins in the offices of elected officials.

Educate yourself: Visit CODEPINK's blog the PINKtank to stay informed about the real news. Learn about effective responses to violence and terrorism by reading CODEPINK's book, Stop the Next War Now and Twilight of an Empire. For additional recommendations, check out theCODEPINK Recommended Reading List.

Host a Movie Screening: Host a DVD party with your local group. CODEPINK recommends these movies. From the devastation in Iraq to the human rights atrocities at Guantanamo these films instill a powerful message of why CODEPINK women can no longer sit by and let these atrocities continue.

“ 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

    POEM OF LIGHT

    Beyond your eyes exists a world
    That all can learn to see
    Within this world exists for us
    Infinite possibility

    Many are lost in darkness
    And cannot find their way
    Because they choose to believe the lies
    They hear from day to day

    The future's yours the future's yours,
    If you open your mind
    Discover what you do not know
    And greater truth you'll find

    You and me and everyone are all beings of light
    We can all live in harmony,
    If we increase our sight,
    Open your heart open your mind,
    And see your path anew
    The greatest joy in life will come
    From Loving Being You!

    Love all of life's Creations
    Take time and you will grow
    To know the truth and see the light and all you wish to know
    Your energy creates life and knowledge is for sure
    Come know yourself,
    The universe,
    And So Much, So Much More...

    GLAD TO BE YOUR FRIEND, HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL AND AMAZING DAY. STRIVE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEBODY'S LIFE TODAY, YOU'LL FEEL AMAZING AND REAP GREAT BLESSINGS!

    Sometimes when i look around, all i see is misery, despair, frustration and pain...

    Then, i close my eyes, take a couple deep breaths, RELAX...And ask myself, "WHAT IF all I saw was what I WANTED TO SEE?" Then, I open my eyes. I see the sun, I see the blue sky, I see my girls smiling back at me, I see life...

    And then, lo and behold, I see nothing but OPPORTUNITY...

    Hey everybody, we really need to get it together to OUST the dirty thirty Republicans who voted against the Franken amendment. There can be no debate about rape and torture. We must organize to vote out the advocates of inhumanity. Get Grandma involved in the good fight, rocknrollers.
