Solidarity Actions from Home


Can't make it to Tampa or Charlotte to protest at the Republican and Democratic National Conventions?

Here are some ways you can take action in solidarity:

Send your vagina to the RNC!

Can't make it to Tampa to protest at the Republican National Convention? No worries, you can still send your vagina to the RNC!

CODEPINK is asking women across the nation to submit artistic representations of their vaginas for us to deliver to the Republican Headquarters. Draw out a message that the Republicans need to see bright and bold! We suggest you create vagina artwork on 8 1/2 x 11 fabric or paper. We will quilt the art together to carry in the March on the RNC on August 27th. We are also calling for vagina costumes that we can wear in the streets. Is sewing your passion? Do you love repurposing thrift store finds? We'd love to wear your costume!

No photography please. Get creative! Your message of opposition to the war on women will be heard.

Alternatively, organize a protest at your local campaign HQ and create your own local vagina brigade! Let us know what you're planning by emailing us and we'll send you resources for action including songs, chants, a sample press release and talking points with you. Add your action to our national calendar here.
