Dear John, 

Last week, I was arrested for being a voice for peace in a room surrounded by warmongers.  The time is now to disrupt and dismantle the war machine. This week and next, we need voices for peace to join us in Congress and in the streets of DC! Tell President Biden we need diplomacy, not escalation!

✌️ Join us tomorrow, March 8th, for our International Women’s Day of Action. We’ll be creating a human peace sign in Congress and lobbying women in the House of Representatives to push for negotiations not escalation. RSVP here!

✌️Also join us & 100+ partnering organizations on Saturday, March 18th, coinciding with the 20th anniversary weekend of the criminal U.S.-invasion of Iraq, where we’re rallying to say "Peace in Ukraine – Say NO to Endless U.S. Wars” and “Fund People's Needs, Not the War Machine.”

Add your voice to the petition telling President Biden we need diplomacy, not escalation!

✌️If you can't be with us in the streets on International Women's Day, join us on Zoom tomorrow, March 8th, to hear from women around the world on the cost of war.  

Finally, for some added inspiration, I ran into President Biden in DC & urged him to push for negotiations for peace in Ukraine and to take Cuba off the state sponsor of terror list – watch the video here! 

Towards Peace,
Olivia, Medea, Ann, and the DC CODEPINK team
