Three years ago, on March 1, 2007, we opened the doors to a brick townhouse in the northeast quadrant of DC and decided to call it home.

The Pink House will close at the end of February, but CODEPINK in DC will maintain a virbant presence and invites activists to join powerful actions in March in the beltway!

by Toby Blome One life experience that has kindled my soul to be a more committed peace activist was a connection to a Muslim culture via a ten year marriage to a Turkish man. Living in Istanbul for a year and raising two beautiful children from that relationship enabled me to discover and appreciate the richness and [...]
