Bay Area Code Pink Actions

Bring Home the California National Guard Immediately

We must bring our California National Guard home from Iraq now. Of course we want ALL our troops to come home; and as a beginning strategy for both bringing troops home AND ending this war in Iraq, we will work on pressuring our governor & state legislators to bring home our guard, who in turn will pressure Bush to bring home our California National Guard - click here for facts about our National Guard.

To review our beginning goals & objectives, click here - these will grow and change as the campaign proceeds.

This is an exciting and empowering campaign (click here for strategies) - and a campaign that needs YOU! We are forming a CodePINK California National Guard Regional Working Group - click here for more information. We are forming 3-people CodePINK City Core Groups of residents in each city, town and/or county in California - click here for more information. We are forming 10-person City Working Coalitions in each city, town, and/or county. Click here for more information.

Through getting cities/towns to adopt the Resolution - click here to view resolution - getting individuals to sign Petitions - to download petitions in pdf format, click here, MS Word format, click here - and through a huge presence especially at county fairs over the summer. Our purpose for being at state fairs is many-folded:

counter-recruitment: military recruiters are usually there in force - and we want to be there also!
national guard campaign: we will be able to reach folks we don't normally talk with; and
we will spread CodePINK near & far!

We intend to gather as much grassroots support as possible for bringing home the California National Guard immediately. If you want to start a City Core Group in your city or town, click here for a detailed packet you can download for helpful hints about organizing your city and for our general information packet. Also, for a packet to present to your state legislator, click here.

We NEED your help - from phone calling to petition gathering to working on Regional Working Groups, City Core Groups or City Working Coalitions to staffing tables at fairs - we need YOU!

If you have one hour a day, a week, a month - we want that hour! If your skills are phone calling, writing, staffing tables, walking, reading, talking - whatEVER, we want those skills! If you don't know what to do, we'll help you figure it out, not to worry! Just call 510-524-2776 or 415-575-5555 or email mzsam@bayareacodepink.org or Adrienne@bayareacodepink.org - REMEMBER CodePINK doesn't happen unless YOU step up to the plate & make it work! In pink peace, power, participation, protest!!!
