Dear CODEPINKer,

Summer is around the corner and the peace movement is heating up. This past weekend over 300,000 marched in the streets of New York City calling for an end to the Iraq war. On Monday, millions of people participated in a general strike to demand rights for immigrants. Thousands of mothers and their children are making plans to join us in DC for our Mother's Day vigil. Keep the momentum going and step up your activism to stop the war by joining us this summer as we work to create peace from Wisconsin to Texas to Syria!

Travel, work, learn and renew this summer with CODEPINK's exciting peace building opportunities:

	Peace Delegation to Jordan and Syria June 12 - 21 Journey to Jordan and Syria, Iraq's western neighbors, where you'll meet with Iraqis to hear their first-hand accounts of conditions in Iraq, how they view American occupation, their views how to end it, and what they think of the prospects for reconciliation in post-occupation Iraq.

P.S. Don't forget to join us for Mother's Day in DC, and sign up so we can keep you informed about the exciting daily additions to the plans. If you can't come to DC, please consider honoring the Mothers of the Fallen by sending a Mother's Day rose to Washington, DC to let them know you stand with them -- and against the war. Organic roses will be presented to the mothers and then tied to the fence outside the White House as a memorial to the dead and a call for peace. Click here to send your rose now!
