CODEPINK LA rally. Want more non-stop actions in the coming year? Support Our Work

Dear John,

Funnily enough, this year CODEPINK's success is mostly defined by how much the president and his allies have tried to shut us up. Despite the Trump Administration trying to intimidate people into staying silent with military and ICE deployments all over the country, people have continued resisting in creative and inspiring ways. Our greatest accomplishment this past year has been serving as a home for so many leading this beautiful resistance.

If you haven’t had the chance to give yet, it’s not too late. Your donation will still be doubled by our matching funders through December 31, 2025.

Confronting DHS Secretary Kristi Noem at her Congressional Hearing.

Last year, our message grew wildly on social media. This year, we took those we inspired with our actions and made them into organizers, leaders, and peace activists. Our online reach has funneled people from clicktivism to organized cohorts all over the world who have mobilized campaigns challenging the war economy and building a peace economy wherever they may be. We know that when times are tough and the world seems rather bleak, you want to support groups that are delivering — and, even through repression, CODEPINK is doing just that.

Protesting outside Capitol Hill.

CODEPINK London launched a Bases Off Cyprus campaign to challenge the U.K.’s military base on Cyprus that has been aiding Israel’s genocide in Gaza. They caught wind of some of the spy planes being leased out of Nevada. It wasn’t long before CODEPINK London and CODEPINK Reno teamed up to challenge the Nevada-based company’s complicity in genocide — featuring hundreds of phone calls jamming their phone lines and multiple concurrent actions in both the U.K. and Nevada.

Flotilla Solidarity Action at the People's Conference for Palestine in Chicago.

With our support, 18 CODEPINKers joined the Global March to Gaza, an attempted march across the desert from Egypt to Gaza to break the siege. Similarly, numerous CODEPINKers were ship captains and passengers on the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza that inspired people all over the world.

On Mother’s Day weekend, CODEPINK Chicago hosted a diaper drive to benefit Logan Square Mutual Aid, where they collected over 5,000 diapers to benefit mothers in the community. They educated the neighborhood on the plight of mothers living in war zones while providing real material relief to their neighbors. They also did this for the back-to-school season, collecting $5,000 worth of school supplies to support children on the south side of Chicago. Your support helps us train these organizers, give them outreach supplies, and ensure their organizing efforts are rooted in the values of peace, justice, and community care.

Protesting Apple's complicity in genocide during the iPhone 17 launch outside the Apple store in NYC.

On the day that Apple released its iPhone 17, a dozen of our chapters disrupted the launch events, educating shoppers about Apple’s complicity in war and genocide in Palestine and in the Congo. Our media team, hired and trained with your donations, jumped on the news story and made our disruptions viral. The result? CODEPINK received an influx of emails from people saying they were going to dump their Apple stock over what they learned from us. As we’ve learned from the Palestinians, divestment is one of the most effective nonviolent agents of change!

And, as the U.S. gears up towards a war on Venezuela, our work on Latin America has become critical. Because of the years of support from peacemakers like yourself, we’ve kept up a robust Latin America campaign that’s educated the public on U.S. relations with Venezuela since the CIA-backed coup attempt in 2019. It’s because of that and our increased Latin America programming during our Summer School and Campaign Weeks of Action that our base was ready to respond to Trump’s threats towards Venezuela. On December 6, our chapters all over the country took action for Venezuela to elevate the 70% of people in the U.S. who oppose the U.S. going to war in Latin America!

Without you, we wouldn’t be able to reach such a wide audience with our creative and beautiful actions. We wouldn’t be able to piss off the president so much. We wouldn’t be able to build up so many courageous and charismatic leaders. We wouldn’t be able to have the dedicated and brilliant team to support all of the elements that make CODEPINK possible. We do a lot with a little. When we meet people on the street, they often assume CODEPINK has a team of 100 — not the small but mighty crew of just 14 full-time staff. This coming year, just like every year before, your support will go a long, long way.
