TROOPS HOME FAST! On July 4, we launched an historic hunger strike called TROOPS HOME FAST in Washington, DC in front of the White House. While many Americans expressed their patriotism via barbeques and fireworks, we're fasting in memory of the dead and wounded, and calling for the troops to come home from Iraq. Read an interview with Diane Wilson to learn more. We're inviting people around the world to show their support for this open-ended fast by fasting for at least one day. Please sign here to to support us and encourage your friends to do the same. Click here to view photos of our latest actions, including July 4 arrests!

Take a Stand by Signing the Voters Pledge! What if millions decided to vote their conscience and said 'No More War Candidates'? The Voters Pledge makes visible a powerful political force, the peace vote, a force that politicians cannot continue to ignore. It sends a clear message to the hawkish minority that leads both major parties to end the occupation of Iraq and to end unprovoked attacks on other nations. Sign the Voters Pledge and ask at least 10 of your friends to sign as well. You can help get 2 million signers in 2006!

Support War Resisters! For the first time in the Iraq war, an officer in the U.S. Military, Lt. Ehren Watada, has publicly refused orders and will be brought to court-martial this summer. Click here for ways to show your solidarity and here to read a letter from Carolyn, Ehren's mom, and find out more about his case. You can also support Army Specialist Suzanne Swift, who suffered sexual harassment at the hands of her commanding officers and refused to return to Iraq. Click here for more info.
Declaration of Peace!
We urge you to sign The Declaration of Peace, a pledge to take action against the war during September 21-28 if a peace plan is not established by that time. Declaration signers will take part in nonviolent action, marches, rallies, demonstrations, interfaith services, candlelight vigils and other creative ways to declare peace at the US Capitol and in cities across the US. Click here to sign the Declaration and learn more.

Summer with CODEPINK! Join us this summer to rejuvenate your activist spirit, support the rebuilding efforts in the Gulf region and much more! Highlights include spending Mother's Day at the White House, joining a peace delegation to Jordan and Syria, attending the Vancover World Peace Forum, re-uniting with friends at Camp Casey, and joining a retreat at the Crossings in Austin. Check out our Travel page for more details.

Mothers Declare Peace on Mother's Day! CODEPINK's 24-hour Mother's Day peace vigil was an amazing soulful, painful and joyful gathering. Cindy Sheehan, Susan Sarandon, Patch Adams, Dick Gregory, and Iraqi and Iranian mothers joined with mothers and others from all over the country to create a magical pink presence at the White House. Click here to see the media coverage & video, read our blogs and see the most beautiful photos imaginable! And click here to see reports from solidarity events that happened around the country.

CODEPINK Takes Out Ads in Iraqi papers! On Monday, May 15, CODEPINK placed ads in 8 Iraqi newspapers calling for Americans and Iraqis to work together, in a non-violent fashion, to end the occupation and bloodshed in Iraq. People in 99 cities generously funded this ad campaign. The Iraqi response has been tremendous, with hundreds of Iraqis calling the newspapers saying how excited they are to see this ad and how it gives them great hope. Click here to see the ad. Click here to see the Arabic website Esteklal (which means independence). To see the press release about this ad, click here.

Stop Nuclear War With Iran! We weren't able to stop the last war, but we must stop the next one…NOW! The United Nations, which is the mandated to uphold international law, must speak out against the Bush Administration's plans. Let's send a collective letter to Secretary General Kofi Annan imploring him to denounce this threat and call for a diplomatic solution. Click here to sign on and/or send your own, and pass it to friends and family around the world. Let's let the Bush administration and Kofi Annan know that the world is demanding an end to this madness!

Support Iraqi Women: The US invasion of Iraq has moved Iraq from a secular to a more religious -- and violent -- society where women's rights are being curtailed. Read our report Iraqi Women Under Siege and recent articles about women in Iraq. Click here to see the blogs, photos and media articles of the Iraqi Women's Tour to the US. Donate to our efforts to support Iraqi women.

Women -- & Male Allies -- Say NO To War! Sign here to join women and men from around the world who are coming together to SAY NO TO WAR. We are creating a massive movement crossing generations, races, ethnicities, religions, and borders to pressure our governments, the United Nations, the Arab League, and others international leaders to negotiate a political settlement to the war in Iraq.

Bring Our Guard Home Now!
With over 70,000 National Guard troops deployed to Iraq, our homefront has been left vulnerable in the face of natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina. In response, CODEPINK is working with a coalition of peace groups to seek the immediate withdrawal of all National Guard troops from Iraq. At least twelve states are petitioning their governors to bring home our Guard! Click here to find out how you can join this effort and start a working group in your state!

Hurricane Katrina
CODEPINK is now in New Orleans, working with the Common Ground Collective, the People's Institute for Survival & Beyond, various grassroots organizations and local neighborhood groups. We are part of an active movement to rebuild and revision the city, standing in solidarity with residents to strengthen their communities and take their cities back! We invite you to come down to participate in this massive and historic effort to rebuild this beautiful city from the bottom up and the inside out. Click here for more info, join our upcoming work brigade this summer and read Dana Balicki's blogs from New Orleans!

Listen Hillary!
The American people are saying, `Troops out,' Iraqi people are saying, `Troops out.' Are you listening, Hillary? CODEPINK has launched a nationwide campaign against Hillary Clinton because of her opposition to immediate troop withdrawal from Iraq. We plan to tail the senator around the state and the country to persuade her to oppose the war. Our protests in Chicago, Washington D.C, and New York have generated a buzz in the media. Check out our new website, www.ListenHillary.org/ for more info!
