Quotations

On the Iraq War: "You wonder how we ever could have started such a tragic and unnecessary war." (Toronto, Nov. 2008; photo codepinkalert.org)

Code Pink works hard to keep the human cost of war visible; we can’t give our elected officials the luxury of looking away, of pretending that we are waging a humane and compassionate war.” (Toronto, Pink Tank, Nov. 17, 2008; photo codepinkalert.org)

This is what the body says:
release the peace

that lives within your skin.
