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.

CODEPINK is renting a beautiful house in DC 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.

“ 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
