2006: Women Say No to War

CODEPINK just launched a new campaign called "Women Say No to War" to bring together US women like Alice Walker, Congresswoman Barbara Lee, Susan Sarandon, Cindy Sheehan and Dolores Huerta with women from countries such as Britain, Canada, Australia, Mexico, the Philippines, Japan, Jordan, Iran and especially Iraq. The purpose of this campaign is to tell our leaders - and the world - that women have had enough of the senseless war in Iraq and we want the foreign troops and foreign fighters to leave Iraq now. We want to get at least 100,000 women from around the world to sign our global call by March 8, 2006, when we'll deliver the signatures to the White House and to US embassies around the world. In only one week, more than 10,000 women have signed the Women's Call for Peace. Please join us in sending a powerful message that women worldwide have said "Enough!"

To make this effort truly historic and successful, I’m asking for your help:

Please sign the call TODAY: Go to http://www.womensaynotowar.org . (To my male friends: Men in solidarity with 'WOMEN SAY NO TO WAR' are invited to join us by signing the call and participating in March 8 events.) I’m pasting the text of the call below this email—read it under the included quotes.
Then forward the call to everyone you can think of—your friends, family, foes, former teachers, future mentors, your grandma and your niece and your best friend’s sister...
Help organize a local Women Say No to War event on March 8 or join us in Washington DC.

Together, we can make 2006 the year that this illegal and immoral war ends, and the year that we significantly increase our peace building endeavors, from our hearts to our neighborhoods to beyond our borders.
