Dear John,

Today is Black Friday— and President Biden is going all out with a Black Friday splurge on sending billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund Israel’s genocide in Gaza.  The pro-Israel lobby is on a similar binge, having purchased our politicians with over $200m, including almost $5m to Biden, they are now bankrolling the silencing of peacemakers calling for an end to the Israeli occupation and genocide. This year, we are occupying Black Friday for Palestine. Learn about the BDS movement, boycott what you can and educate your friends and community. Lobby groups like AIPAC are buying more war. But you can buy peace.

Help fund our new Palestine campaign team.

Use our Boycott Black Friday resource page to find what you can boycott, share with friends and educate your social media followers.  

CODEPINK co-founder, Medea Benjamin is in Turkey, joining our coalition of international peace and humanitarian advocates to announce an initiative aimed at breaking the blockade on Gaza via three ships that can deliver crucial humanitarian aid to those trapped in Israel’s oppressive siege.

Turn Black Friday pink and invest in Peace!

We can’t let up the pressure on Congress. AIPAC is set to spend at least another $100 million in the upcoming Democratic primaries to knock out members of Congress who have called for a ceasefire in Gaza. If the people's movement for peace even had a tiny fraction of those resources, we would be unstoppable. We are trying to raise just $25,000 by the end of this month which will be doubled by a generous donor. Can we count on you?

Our work is shifting opinions and making a difference! According to Yahoo News' latest poll, more Americans now want the U.S. to push for a ceasefire than to continue 'supporting' Israel's war. Thanks to daily pressure, actions, and confrontations on Capitol Hill, 41 members of Congress have now called for a ceasefire, up from five.

CODEPINK is committed to driving the momentum for peace next year. To do that we need to fully fund our Palestine team. If you or a loved one wants to end the occupation of Palestine and hold war criminals accountable – you can donate to CODEPINK as a gift for the holiday season!  

Generous supporters like you are what makes our work possible. Thank you for everything you do for the peace movement. 

Peace and solidarity,
Ann, Cale, Danaka, Farida, Grace, Isabella, Jodie, Marcy, Mark, Medea, Melissa, Michelle, Nour, Nancy, Nuvpreet, Paki, Teri, Tim, and Ysabel
