The cost of war and militarism is everywhere and you can find CODEPINK at every intersection both home and abroad. This week we spoke out against the state-sanctioned murder of environmental activist Tortuguita in Atlanta, Georgia, we learned about resisting the crackdown on the BDS movement in solidarity with Palestine, and continued our call for peace and diplomacy over war and weapons in Ukraine.
Check out our weekly wrap-up!
This week we responded:
On January 18th, Tortuguita, a brave and beloved Weelaunee Forest Defender, was killed by Atlanta Police. As people of conscience, as breathers of air, as anti-imperialists, as feminists, pacifists, activists – we condemn this state-sanctioned murder.

Alexandra Pelosi recently released the documentary Pelosi In The House. Part of the film highlighted the weeks-long Iraq War outside the San Franscico home of her mom Rep. Nancy Pelosi. We decided this was the perfect opportunity to tell the real story about “Camp Pelosi” with CODEPINK Outside The House.
This week we educated:
CODEPINK provided educational webinars where we learned about the right to boycott Israel’s apartheid through BDS and then over to Latin America to learn more about CELAC 2023.

This week we demanded:
And as always, we continued to mobilize the voices against militarism, imperialism, and oppression with these calls to action that you can join today!
Patriots? Hell No! Stop Escalating the US-Russia Proxy War in Ukraine!
Tell Congress to Investigate the Harm Done by US Military in Guam
We will continue to educate, disrupt, and mobilize until we live in world that is no longer driven by war economies but united by loving and sustainable peace economies.
You can help by sharing our work and joining us at an event near you!
Peace and solidarity,
The CODEPINK Team
