A MESSAGE FROM CODEPINK

Right now, members of the U.S. Congress are debating over how many bombs and fighter jets they can buy and how many hundreds of billions of dollars they can add to the military budget next year. While their constituents go hungry or go into medical debt, they are trying their best to fund the next war. 

We know policymakers in Washington are out of touch. It's become quite clear over the years that the message of peace hasn't been visible enough. That's why we are working on uplifting the message of peace this summer so they can't ignore us!

JOIN THE SUMMER OF PEACE!

What is the summer of peace? It may seem abstract, but the fact of the matter is, we've spent the last year trying to bring anti-war messaging to members of Congress and their staff tell us they haven't seen the movement for peace. We aren't visible enough. The Summer of Peace is about making ourselves visible again. You can join the Summer of Peace by putting a peace flag in your window, wheat pasting peace messages in your area, putting up CODEPINK stickers, handing out flyers supporting peace through diplomacy in Ukraine, and organizing a peace walk at your local farmers market. It only takes one person to uplift the message of peace, and that's what we want to focus on this summer. 

Our goal? We want to have 500 actions for peace by the end of September. If you put a peace sign in your window or wear a CODEPINK t-shirt, send us a picture! We've already kicked off the summer with our phone banking team which has made 300 calls to Members of Congress calling for negotiations in Ukraine.
