From the circus in Washington, D.C. to the billionaires hoarding our collective wealth, the distractions are endless but so are the solutions.

INTERVIEW: Lily Egen & Jodie Evans on veganism, virtual tourism, and pest control narratives by Elliot Blyth on Radio One 91FM Dunedin
Jodie Evans, activist and co-founder of CODEPINK, talks with Stephanie and Michael about possibility of creating and sustaining the ‘peace economy'. More specifically, they explore concrete ways to reorient our distorted ‘war economy' perspectives, to wean ourselves from destructive ‘addictions' and provide concrete ways in which we can all – even recognizing the current political and environmental horrors – bring about real change and lasting peace."I want to go back to saying we are alive because of the peace economy. We are not alive because of the war economy. It is killing us, our community, and the planet. But in our minds, somehow, we think it's giving us life because it has convinced us of that. But really, the thing that is rich about life is the things we give each other, is the way we care for each other, is the way we create space of trust and care. That's where life thrives."We forget that this peace economy is available to us by simply being present, by consciously being where we are right now, and responding with genuine attention to those around us. This moment we are in can be exactly where we can all start to build the peace economy – it is here where our true ‘potency arises from' and it is where we can make a difference, together.
On this episode of CODEPINK Radio, CODEPINK co-founder Jodie Evans talks with two local peace economy organizers, Caroline Woolard and Severine von Tscharner Fleming, about what they've learned along the way as they've pivoted away from the war economy and cultivated local peace economies where they live. We're not going to end war until we end the war economy. What does it take to do this? Caroline and Severine's stories are full of rich lessons for us all as we work to seed peace within our communities. To watch the video that accompanies the song at the break, click here.

Tune in this week to learn all about the local peace economy - what is it, and why does it matter? We'll hear from CODEPINK co-founder Jodie Evans about why she started integrating local peace economy work into her anti-war activism and how you can begin to grow the local peace economy in your community. We'll also hear from presenters and attendees at the recent Bioneers conference in Berkeley, CA about how the local peace economy is alive in their lives right now. How do we grow the seeds of peace in our community? Join us to find out.
Today on the Show: Code Pink disrupts CondI Rice on the UC Berkeley campus, at an event with Chancellor Carol Christ on “Free speech issues on college campuses”.

This week, join CODEPINK's cofounder, Jodie Evans, as she takes us through an intense two-day journey in the halls of Congress, where peace activists from CODEPINK and other groups used Valentine's day to spread a message of love and solidarity by delivering heartfelt valentines to members of Congress, urging them to embrace compassion and demand an immediate ceasefire to end the ongoing genocide in Palestine. But that's not all - Jodie also takes us along the poignant path walked by renowned actress and tireless activist, Susan Sarandon. Susan leverages her influential voice, navigating through the political maze of Congress, to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, and the funding of UNRWA, regardless of the personal costs.

Today's show explores a few elements of the Left through the prism of having to manufacture their outrage. Before we start, I once again turn to my friend, Tara's, top 10 headlines the media didn't bother talking about for the week. You should really follow her on X @TaraBull808. The first story that follows is another upper level marketing executive at Anheuser-Busch has stepped down. The Bud Light line is still suffering since they decided it would be cute to let a prancing male unicorn, mock women and pretend to be a Bud Light drinker. Serves them right. Same goes for Target's continued spiral. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) said the same thing I did on yesterday's show. She believes if those who stormed DNC headquarters had been wearing MAGA hats, they would all be in jail and the DOJ would be throwing the book at them. So far, we only know about one arrest. As she closes, she suggests Speaker Johnson should open an investigation into who is funding all of these pro-Hamas/pro-Palestine protests. Speaker Johnson needs only to call me because I can tell him. Neville Roy Singham has been on the FBI's radar for anti-American activities since the 70s and has ties to the CCP. Jodie Evans is the typical anti-American neo-leftist protester and the founder of Code Pink. The multi-millionaire couple, having made their fortunes in our capitalist country, now hate themselves and have decided to project that hate on everything that allowed them amass their wealth. Once again we discover the Left has to manufacture the appearance of widespread hate of Israel and of America. But, let's not paint with too wide a brush when it comes to the Palestinian people living in Gaza and the West Bank. It is important to not mix up Hamas and ordinary Palestinians. Not all Palestinians support the raping and torturing and kidnapping and killing of innocent Israelis. In fact, according to a recent survey conducted by the Arab World for Research and Development, 5.4% of Palestinians somewhat do not support what happened on October 7 and 7.3% of Palestinians are extremely against it! See, you can't just assume because 75% of Palestinians were either extremely or somewhat supportive of Hamas's attacks, that you should think they are all guilty of the same hate and beliefs. We just now learned the FBI was so desirous of painting all people at J6 as domestic terrorists that they pulled people off a case of a known pedophile, allowing the man to abuse a 10 year old boy. The FBI had to keep up the appearance of just how terrible Trump supporters are, that they allowed an innocent boy to become a victim of a known pedophile. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) just lied about a law in Tennessee. He claimed there is now a ban on being gay in public. Apparently, the chief executive of the state of California is incapable of reading the law, which states it is unlawful for ANYONE to have sex in public and in the presence of minors. But the Left has to manufacture a misrepresentation of the law to use in their ongoing propaganda campaigns to lie to and mislead their constituents. A new poll just came out showing a majority of Americans disapprove of Joe Biden's job performance, including a majority of men, Hispanics, people with college degrees and literally anyone under the age of 45. This might explain why Gov. Newsom is trying to hard to build his foreign relations resume so he can replace Joe Biden before 2024. BTW, a college professor by the name of Loay Alnaji was arrested for the murder of that Jewish man killed in California for holding the flag of Israel at a demonstration. We always see hate and physical violence from the Left. They lack the intellectual capacity to deal with reality. In positive news, an appeals court has said the gag order on Trump is unconstitutional. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) says that Speaker Johnson is going to release the J6 videos in tranches and he said it will be in the coming days, not weeks. And Joe Biden commented at the APEC 2023 gathering that Gov. Newsom can be anything he wants, including “going out for the job I'm looking for.” See, I told you!

A MONUMENTAL ORGANIZING MOMENT….& VICTORY IN ECUADOR This breakthrough two-hour networking session joins RAY MCCLENDON and ANDREA MILLER of the “Georgia Miracle” with RACHEL COYLE and COURTNEY FLYNN of swing state Ohio, where a major grassroots victory has been won protecting the referendum process. Ray tells us he has now helped form a new multi-state organization to help spread the grassroots tactics and strategies that famously turned two US Senate seats from Georgia into a reshaped majority in the nation's upper house. Andrea explains some of the key organizing principles that have made her work at the Center for Common Ground so critically important to protecting democracy throughout our nation. Rachel then explains how the grassroots forces in the Buckeye State beat back a GOP attempt to destroy the referendum process. She's joined by Courtney Flynn from the Ohio Voter Rights Coalition, which helped turn this seemingly un-winnable fight into a landmark victory for democracy. Joining these great multi-state organizers will hopefully help yield a transcendent campaign operation that will spread from the Ohio/Georgia axis throughout the US in the coming years, especially in the lead-up to 2024. Joining the dialog is VINNIE DESTEFANO of the Julian Assange campaign who is full of brilliant campaign tactics—banner drops and more—usable by grassroots groups throughout the world. JOHN STEINER and WENDI LEDERMAN add to the critical dialog. ERIC LAZARUS joins the great RUSSELL GREENE to fill us in on the major march coming up at the United Nations on September 17. Russell continues to break barriers with his signature brilliance and perseverance. FOREST BEAUDOIN-FREED and MARK HARRISON contribute to the dialog. MYLA RESON warns that despite his progressive reputation, US Senator SHELDON WHITEHOUSE has been a dangerous advocate of atomic power. For our second hour, we're joined by Teamster organizer AARON WAZLAVEK who celebrates his union's hard-won wins and promises to join us again. In our second hour, the great STEVE DONZIGER tells us of the monumental victory of the Ecuadorian people, who've become the first national population to vote a ban on oil drilling. Steve has become a major figure in the progressive movement as a result of Chevon's attacks against him, and will be feted at a fundraising event in Topanga Canyon, California, headlined by JANE FONDA, JODIE EVANS and others. Steve's fundraiser host, DOROTHY REIK, fills us in on the big mistake the oil industry has made in taking away attorney Donziger's law license. What a travesty!!! JUSTIN LEBLANC, TATANKA BRICCA, MIMI SPREADBURY, JEFFREY BARKDULL and MARY STONEWALL-DOUGLAS expand the dialog. The great CAMILLA REES punctuates the drama with critical references to the fight to shut the Diablo Canyon nukes. Thank you all for joining us in this monumental dialog. No Nukes! And we wish the people of Ecuador success in protecting the beloved Amazon.
A few weeks ago the New York Times published a hit piece on Jodie Evans and her partner Neville Roy Singham as well as Vijay Prashad of Tricontinental and others, accusing them of organizing front groups to spread Chinese propaganda. These are groups which are advocating No Cold War and peace with China, but to the U.S. establishment they are threats. Bob had a great conversation w/ Jodie Evans, a co-founder of Code Pink, about the work of these groups in advocating for an end to saber-rattling w/ China and negotiations in Ukraine, and about their true relationships w/ China and others. The NYT piece was a boilerplate Cold War smear job, the kind that the U.S. media and political class has been conducting for a century now. It's a resurgence in McCarthyism and it needs to be stopped now. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody Links// + CODEPINK: Women for Peace: https://www.codepink.org/ +"A Global Web of Chinese Propaganda Leads to a U.S. Tech Mogul", New York Times, (https://bit.ly/45wRSfR) +"NYT Reveals That a Tech Mogul Likes China—and That McCarthyism Is Alive and Well", FAIR (https://bit.ly/3R1AJ9F) +McCarthyism Is Back: Together We Can Stop It (https://bit.ly/3YXFdQJ) Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast +Our rad website: https://greenandredpodcast.org/ Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

The Green and Red Seminar on the war in Ukraine continues! As the head of NATO says that the allies are prepared to support the Ukraine war effort for years to come, and Biden asks Congress for another $33 billion in war aid, we take a look at the anti-war movement over the past decades. From Bush's invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, to Obama's drone wars to military build-ups in Asia and eastern Europe, the U.S. public has been lost in a fog of never ending war with critical voices for peace being the only light. In our latest episode, we talk with long time peace activist and co-founder of the anti-war group Code Pink, Jodie Evans.

Jodie Evans is the co-founder of CODEPINK and the after-school writing program 826LA. She has been a visionary advocate for peace for several decades. Whether in board rooms or war zones, legislative offices, or neighborhood streets, Jodie’s enthusiasm for a world at peace infuses conciliation, optimism, and activism wherever she goes.Jodie addresses the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” with thoughts including:That the war economy is in the structures around us that are violent, oppressive, extractive, and destructive. “We won't end war until we end the war economy”.

In the 4th episode of CODEPINK Radio, join our host Rose Asaf from NYC as she discusses current events, and has thought-provoking conversations with CODEPINK’s co-founder Jodie Evans and Nancy Mancias, a CODEPINK Organizer with out Divest from War campaign. Rose starts off by calling attention to the ever-growing acrocity of the Amazonia fire, set forth by conservative farmers in order to grow land for pastures, and drive away the Indiginous population. Rose also talks about Rep. Rashida Talib’s strong actions to not visit her grandmother in Palestine under the stringent rules set forth by Israel. However, it is a must to hear Rose’s opinion, as a Jewish American, about President Donald Trump's recent inflammatory remarks of Jewsih American’s who vote for the Democratic Party. We first join Jodie Evans, CODEPINK’s Co-Founder, as she discusses the history of CODEPINK, and cultivation of a Local Peace Economy. Jodie gives us a fresh insight on how peace-building can come as simply as taking small, local steps, and eventually divest from the destructive War Economy. Our second guest for the show is Nancy Mancias, who discusses our biggest campaign “Divest From War Machine”. Nancy discusses the overarching message behind our pivotal campaign, what actions we have taken in the past, and what actions are we taking now. Nancy urges locals from NYC to join the fight against the war-profiteering companies.
CODEPINK Co-Founder, Jodie Evans, starts by sharing her experience along with other anti-war activists disruption at yesterday’s United Against a Nuclear Iran (UANI) summit taking place on the margins of this week’s United Nations meetings. She goes into detail on the lies being told to the public on Iran’s nuclear capabilities. The first guest is Lindsay Allen, Executive Director of the Rainforest Action Network. RAN was founded in 1985 to stop the destruction of the Amazon Rainforest. She goes into detail on the climate crisis, fires in the Amazon, how big corporations are leading these crises. Lindsay discusses how we can target banks and looks to the Occupy Movement to show it is possible to take down these financial institutions. We need to funnel our energy from the streets and target these companies and pull the financial rug out from under the fossil fuels and agricultural business sectors. Some outstanding facts being explored are the #1 investor in Amazon Rainforest deforestation is BlackRock and Chase Bank has funneled 196 billion dollars to fossil fuel companies. Lindsay ends the first half by urging us to put our bodies in the way to stop pipelines because that increases our dependence on oil, turn out in the streets. We can make the difference because companies are assessing what their customers care about and to shut down banks. She encourages listeners to take the small steps and think about what makes you uncomfortable enough to match the challenge of going after these institutions. Nancy and Jodie share their experiences at Friday’s Youth Global Climate Strike. Nancy fills guest’s in on her CODEPINK campaign to divest from BlackRock. She discusses the horrific effects of the war economy, the myths the CEO’s of investment companies tell the public and what we can do to stop these corporations. Lastly, they go over the top ten ways the military and climate change are intertwined. We ask you to ponder war, what is it good for?

Patt Morrison talks with Jodie Evans a political activist, author, and documentary film producer. Jodie is the co-founder and director of CODEPINK and the co-founder of the after-school writing program826LA.
I’ve known JODIE EVANS for over 20 years. And throughout that time, she’s been a tireless activist, advocate, and communicator for peace, justice and the planet. When I noticed that Code Pink, which started as a vigil by a few women in front of Bush's White House, has just turned 15, I thought it was a good time to catch up with her. What have we learned since then about the US and activism?

It is the chief moral obligation of our time to build a green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty. The activist and founder of four non-profits, including the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, Van Jones, urges us to carry our spiritual, cultural and economic movements into the electoral arena to transform politics and forge a green "New Deal" coalition so that kids who are now prison fodder will help create a zero-pollution economy, harvest the sun and heal the land instead.

Aired 09/23/12 This radio show aims to offer "pieces of the puzzle of a world that just might work." I hope that if you listen a few times, you begin to imagine a future of revolutionary and evolutionary success. My hope is rooted in this vision: Reality is not dead, mechanical, or separate; in fact, it is alive, evolving, and composed of interdependent systems. I believe this worldview has been shared by indigenous peoples for millennia, revealed by science since early in the 20th century, and obvious every time we walk outside or look into the eyes of another living creature. This vision inspires the annual Bioneers conference that takes place each fall (this year October 19-21) in San Rafael, just north of San Francisco. I'll be talking with Bioneers founder and co-director, KEN AUSUBEL, and one of this year's speakers, ELLEN BROWN, President of the Public Banking Institute and author of WEB OF DEBT. Human creativity focused on problem solving can explode the narrative of despair. For the most part the solutions to our problems already exist. Bioneers focuses on strategies to help us realize these solutions by restoring community, justice and democracy. Other speakers this year include BILL McKIBBEN, PAUL HAWKEN, ETHAN NADELMANN, GABOR MATE, and LA's own JODIE EVANS and ANDY LIPKIS. http://www.bioneers.org http://www.webofdebt.com http://publicbankinginstitute.org

Debbie Lee's son was killed in the line of duty August 2, 2006. He was the first SEAL to lose his life in Iraq. In his final moments he single-handedly held off enemy fighters as his team rescued a wounded soldier from a rooftop. When she received the news of the death of her son, after experiencing a torrent of emotions, Debbie Lee decided to honor him, and give to the troops that are so bravely fighting for our freedoms. Debbie Lee has been touring America to honor Marc, and his brothers in arms. She established America's Mighty Warriors which is dedicated to random acts of kindness for military personnel and their families stateside and overseas. Debbie made a second trip to Iraq this year, able to interview personnel from both the American and Iraqi Air Force, and even secured an exclusive interview with General Anwar, the man in charge of the Iraqi Air Force - an opportunity denied to media outlets like CNN. In her trip to Iraq, Debbie Lee saw first hand the rebuilding of Iraq. Debbie's first trip to Iraq was in December of 2007, where she made history being the first Gold Star Mother to go into the combat zone where her son gave his life. Jodie Evans and Code Pink has taunted Debbie, making light of her son’s sacrifice, saying things like, “Your son deserved to die in Iraq if he was stupid enough to go over there.” Tonight, Debbie Lee Joins the Political Pistachio Radio Revolution to discuss these events in her life, as well as touch on her feelings about the current political situation, and where we go from here. Join us. Conservative News and Commentary
Recent events leave very little doubt as to the current reality...The US and the Western World have chosen to back the terrorist, jihadist, Islamist ruling power in Gaza...Hamas. Do Obama friends and leading "Free Gaza" radicals Bill Ayres, Bernadine Dohrn and Jodie Evans have anything to with it?...Maybe not, but a look at who these leading pro-Hamas activists are and who they were gives considerable insight into the motivations behind those pushing Israel to open Gaza's seaport to Iranian weapons...Hear the facts on this show... The recent actions of Israel's so-called Western allies, Great Britain, Australia, Germany and Poland, demonstrate clear support for Hamas...And, as to the European Union, there can be no question... So, why is this?...Jerusalem Post columnist, Carolyn Glick, gives three possible, plausible explanations...Naivete', Jew-hatred, or fear...Take your pick... Plus, Is there a reference to the BP oil spill in the Talmud (Sanhedrin)?...Something to do with Messiah???... All this and more on "The Marty Roberts Show"...

Dr. Patch Adams entertained the children and those young at heart. Elisa Parker Interviewing a Mom With Her Family From Philadelphia After 24 hours of continuous knitting, the quilt had reached over 100 feet long. In the closing ceremony hundreds of women, men and children singing “Peace Shalom Shalom” and chanting quotes like “We will march until our feet are pink” offered the quilt and a message of peace to President Obama in front of the White House along with thousands of roses. Onlookers, some from as far away as Korea, were there to visit the White House, found themselves eagerly joining in by distributing roses, singing, taking photos, or writing the message “We Will Not Raise Our Children to Kill Another Mother’s Child” down, to share with others later.

Aired 10/13/09 JODIE EVANS is the co-founder the International Occupation Watch Center in Iraq, and of CODE PINK, with, among others, Medea Benjamin. Jodie's Baghdad Journals are at the center of the book, Twilight of Empire, and she is co-editor with Benjamin of Stop The Next War Now. JODIE - "I am just returning from my 10-day trip to Afghanistan. As we left, a farm was bombed and eight members of a family were killed. Eight U.S. soldiers also lost their lives in an insurgent raid on their outpost. And today marks the 8th anniversary of the US Invasion of that war torn country. We have spent a quarter of a trillion dollars in those 8 years and what have we got for all that time, money, and suffering? Most of the country is in worse condition, the Taliban have been growing in strength and number, the bordering countries are more unstable and death fills the air."

Jodie Evans, co-founder of Code Pink, speaks with Nicole Sandler about her trip to Afghanistan
Aired 12/02/08 JODIE EVANS is the co-founder the International Occupation Watch Center in Iraq, and of CODE PINK, with, among others, Medea Benjamin. Jodie's Baghdad Journals are at the center of the 2003 book, Twilight of Empire, and she is co-editor with Benjamin of Stop The Next War Now. Medea and I (CODEPINK co-founders) are spending the week in Iran on a citizen's diplomacy visit, engaging with Iranian women's groups and officials to build bridges and create peace from the ground up. We arrived Friday. Here's a bit of our experience. It is our third day in Iran and we feel like we've been here a month. We are all a bit bleary eyed, with too little sleep. Poor Ann Wright has been hit with the flu, but she doesn't miss a meeting. Leila Zand, our trip leader from Fellowship of Reconciliation is managing three jobs while trying to handle her wild bunch (Medea and myself.) Medea and I aren't great at following rules, especially when they don't make sense. So to be in a form of a straight jacket probably brings our rebellious spirit. Leila has to carry too much of our pent up energy and desires to see and do as much as possible in this short trip. We are all walking the tightrope of wanting to bring more groups back. This is the purpose of the trip and what we complained to Ahmadinejad about in September-the complaint that led to this trip. To break open the knot between Iran and the U.S., we need more citizen diplomacy, and Medea and I surrender to the need and agree to what I am now calling Slow Activism. There are people we have introductions to that we can't meet because it would upset the government, at whose very consent we are here-having been denied entry previously. So we are ALL on our best behavior. I even think I have been able to keep my scarf on much more than the last trip. It also helps us to better understand the terrain. Our friends here learn how to navigate the political land mines. International recognition here is a ticket to a freedom most Iranians who are politically active don't have. Habib knows how to fill a vacuum and seems to know they are inherent in the structure of our visit. Promises of meetings melt away and he is there with the replacement. We were supposed to be at the U.S. Embassy this morning, a tour prepared by the government-it was even announced in the press. But that and a meeting with the Foreign Minister were announced cancelled when we woke. So Habib whisked us off to the a War Library at the Center for Artists. A pretty serious library of books about war from around the world including 800 they had published or arranged to publish themselves. The director had been a journalist in the 8-year war and has given his life to telling its story to make sure another doesn't happen. A great partner for our War is So Over message....and a reminder it takes a lot of pictures, words and movies to tell that story. Lucky we love Habib so much because he manages to spend most of his time with us breaking our hearts and taking us deeper and deeper into the devastation of the 8-year war. I think when I leave I will feel like I was there. We wanted to ride a subway and we wanted to go shopping-if meetings cannot be arranged, then please take us into the belly of the city! We walked for blocks to the subway entrance. Public transportation is priced right-20 cents for the subway and 2 cents for the bus. It was about 3:30pm and getting close to rush hour so the train was packed and we had a choose between the men's train or the women's. We chose the men's train and it was packed. We had to push our way in to fit and of course all eyes were on the Westerners. We went five stops standing and mashed together, the other women on the train were young or with a partner. We emerged from the train to a bustling street. There were hundreds if not thousands of women in long black chadors. We had arrived at a community much more religious than the middle of downtown were we live. It was a fantastic bazaar which, unlike that of Isfahan where it is mostly crafts, seemed to cater to the needs of the community (housewares were in abundance.) Rostan told us that a wives' family has to buy what is needed to create the new home, and all around us, young girls and their mothers where laden in housewares. A tiled, arched entrance swallowed us and we got lost in catacombs of alleys laden with wares and Victoria's Secret-styled stalls with sexier lingerie than I have ever seen. We found our way to a center with vaulted tiled ceilings. Medea found a fantastic set of pink silverware, 33 pieces for $20. Needing a toilet we learned there are mosques almost everywhere and they are the best place to look. We found a mosque just outside and were greeted with warmth and invited in. As darkness engulfed this neighborhood and the stalls closed at the call to prayer, we descended to the subway again. There were hundreds of people, all in black, pushing to get through. It was awesome to behold. We thought of going up to take a cab but realized at rush hour it would take even longer. So we poured ourselves into the throng and decided this time we would try the women's car. What fun! We had a delightful conversation facilitated by a young woman who knew a bit of English. I love the curiosity of the people in Iran-they simply stop us on the street to know where we are from and it reminds me of our visits to Iraq. As I would come home to Venice Beach after being in Iraq and know just how closed a society I live in. There is no curiosity in those streets. Just people going somewhere, and when I have the openness that lingers when I come home, people think I am crazy. All the young women in the subway car have graduated from college-an urban planner, sociologist, doctor, teacher and mother's with their young children. It is much saner than the men's car and we get the wisdom of the separation. We went a stop past ours to find chador stores for Medea. We walked for blocks and blocks with no luck, finally there seemed to be one that was made of cotton. She went inside to try it on and I met a student who came up to ask if I was serious about the big peace sign on my back. "Glad you are here for PEACE,"" said Essa Abrahani, a student of mechanical engineering. "Congratulations for being here, US idea of Iran is colored by revolution and 8 year war. Come visit and see who we really are," was his message to Obama. Medea emerged with a new outfit that they even managed to hem for her. We had dinner in a richly layered restaurant full of music, courting couples, big families and the ever-present kabob. We had a fast dinner to be home for our weekly staff conference call on Skype from the internet café-and a late night of catching up on emails and blogs. Learn more at www.codepink4peace.org
JODIE EVANS, Co-founder, CODE PINK: Women for Peace They're launching www.dontbuybushswar.org on the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. When Ralph Waldo Emerson visited Thoreau in jail, he asked the author of Walden, "Henry, what are doing in there?" Thoreau responded, "Ralph, what are you doing out there?" Our statement is not against taxation or government. Many of us will continue to pay a portion of our taxes that support the vital functions of government. But we will hold in escrow or redirect the portion of our war taxes to humanitarian aid projects and projects such as those providing relief to survivors of Hurricane Katrina. "The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard" is an engaging new short film that explains the "materials economy" in 20 fun-filled minutes. Yes, fun-filled. Produced by Free Range Studios, which developed "The Meatrix" -- an animated short about factory farming that ranks among the cleverest uses of Internet technologies to deliver a politically progressive message -- The Story of Stuff features the wonderful Annie Leonard, amusing graphics, lots of humor, and a complicated analysis presented in an easy-to-understand conversational tone. You can watch the whole thing at www.StoryofStuff.com You'll have to watch the film to enjoy the humor -- there's no easy way to convey the playful cartooning with serious purpose. But I guarantee chuckles even for the most austere.
This week Caroline co-riffs with intrepid ally and co-founder of Code Pink, Jodie Evans, just returned from Iraq, as she says, " from the depths of hell and the hearts of heaven.," with stories we all must know if we are to have a democracy… so that we can withdraw our complicity from the despicable cruelty and harsh chaos and compost this horror into active kinship.
