CODEPINK: Women for Peace is a gender-inclusive, women-led nonprofit focused on opposing U.S. wars and militarism while promoting peace, human rights, and the redirection of taxpayer funds toward social programs such as healthcare, education, and green jobs. Rooted in a nationwide network of local organizers, supporters online, and donors, the organization employs tactics including satire, street theater, civil resistance, and direct challenges to political and corporate decision-makers, with a distinctive emphasis on public visibility and mass participation. Based in Washington, D.C., CODEPINK originated in fall 2002 as a grassroots campaign against the U.S. invasion of Iraq and continues to advocate for justice for Iraqis and accountability for war-related actions, while opposing ongoing conflicts and measures viewed as repressive. The group operates within the nonprofit sector, aiming to mobilize communities around peace initiatives and human rights concerns, and maintains an active schedule of public events and demonstrations across the United States. Recent activities include participation in conferences and public demonstrations intended to highlight policy positions on foreign influence, humanitarian issues, and Gaza-related solidarity.
