War Dollars Home

CODEPINK continues to bring their peaceful, creative pressure of stopping war on this final convention day….

At 2:30 p.m., CODEPINK members will dress up like waitresses and “cook up” peace and highlight how McCain would “cook up another war” in Landmark Plaza of downtown St. Paul, where four CODEPINK women were arrested yesterday during a peaceful protest. It’ll be creative, fun and pink!

At 4:15 p.m., after a quick costume change, we’ll travel to Seven Corners (7th and Chestnut Sts. in downtown St. Paul) where  we’ll be the “pink police” traffic cops guiding delegates to “yield” to peace and “stop” war!

About 6:15 p.m., CODEPINK members will join members of other groups to form a peaceful aerial image in Harriet Island Park, in St. Paul. By laying on the grass, they will form an enormous peace sign. This image will be a beautiful symbol of hope and change, like the majority of protests this week — in contrast to the incidents of violence against demonstrators and the city’s assault on free speech. The aerial image will look similar to the powerful “Make Out Not War” image CODEPINK and friends created at the Democratic National Convention, covered here on the Huffington Post. It may be canceled if there’s rain (please call to confirm if it’s drizzly).

For any questions, or to double-check locations, please call me at 508-769-2138! Thanks so much!

    Sounds like good fun. Also, dangerous as we are now only a breath away from a police state. From the videos I watched on Democracy Now with SS troops (aka MN police in full riot gear, including gas masks) grabbing people they pinched into a parking lot and then roughly subdued we need to all be on the streets. Fill the jails as the MLK people did for black rights and all our rights. Let me know if you are doing anything here in Las Vegas/Henderson area as I want to participate.
