Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

CodePink Urges Congress to Stop Funding Iraq War

HeadlineSep 06, 2007

On Capitol Hill, the antiwar group CodePink marched to the U.S. Capitol Wednesday to ask Congress to stop funding the war.

CodePink’s Medea Benjamin: “We’re here to say that the people of this country are absolutely disgusted with this Congress that has just laid down and given Bush all the money he’s asked for for this war. They’re being asked for another $200 billion now, and we’re here to say: The people say no, and we’re going to whip you into shape until you start listening to us. No more money for this war.”
