“Our economic crisis is in large part due to the massive amount of money we've been spending on war," said CODEPINK cofounder Medea Benjamin. "The recent 50,000 troop deployment to Afghanistan alone will cost more than $12 billion, money that could be used instead to fund 240,000 new green union jobs.  Marching with our sisters and brothers to demand an economy that works for all means putting an end to the war economy and spending our money instead on needs like job creation, education, and healthcare.”

“After nine years of war in Afghanistan, the American people realize that this is a war we cannot win and a war that doesn't make us safer at home,” said Zaccai Free, youth organizer for CODEPINK. “It's time we focus on real security: bringing our war dollars home and rebuilding America.”

Interviews are available with women traveling from more than twenty-six states, including: Arizona, Maine, California, Virginia, Tennessee, Texas, Florida and Maryland.
