Code Pink is sponsoring events on March 8 which is International Women's Day to say Women Say No To War.

Here are some of the events that have been planned.

CodePink LA is sponsoring the following event on March 12:

In honor of International Women's Day on March 8th; CODEPINK women all over the world are organizing actions and saying NO to war! Check out this hysterical cartoon Cheney's Got a Gun (click here) and get fired up to celebrate International Women's Day with CODEPINK Los Angeles.

Add your voice to the global call and join us in Los Angeles on March 12th. Thousands of us will stand together at the Arlington West Memorial and represent the world uniting to say NO to war. Artist John Quigley is creating another one of his powerful aerial images for us on a canvas so big it will take a helicopter to capture it all; each time we have done this it has made the front page of the paper. To see past images check out www.codepinkla.org.

One week before we march on the 3rd anniversary of the war, let’s create something very beautiful, something that will go around the world, something to touch hearts, an experience full of magic and community. JOIN US!!! Here's how you can get involved:

Be a part of the image: Sunday, March 12th, 2pm to 4pm. Santa Monica Beach, just north of the pier next to the Arlington West Memorial.
