CODEPINK is a women-led grassroots organization, working to end U.S. wars and militarism, support peace and human rights initiatives, and redirect our tax dollars into healthcare, education, green jobs and other life-affirming programs. They advocate for the prevention of future wars, and social justice and have been active in this field for forty years. CODEPINK has just launched a campaign called "Grow Your Local Peace Economy."
