 When
Congress was debating the bailout, CODEPINK
was on the front lines in the halls of Congress, the streets of Wall Street
and the front steps of the Treasury Department saying “Bail
out Main Street, not Wall Street.” As outlined in our mission statement,
CODEPINK works to create a world of peace. This includes ending war, of
course, but also includes a government that does not bail out failed, greed-based
corporations and instead funds universal health care, public schools,
green jobs, and the rebuilding of the country's infrastructure we so
desperately need.
See our recent Bailout Main Street actions:

We continue with our Main Street actions these past few weeks, in response to
gross banker bonuses, Treasury Secretary Geithner's major mishaps and
continued corporate bail-outs, all on the taxypayer's tab.
Through our recent actions, we've represented the voice of American
people calling for bail-outs for small
businesses, homeowners, students, people without health care, and
people in Iraq and Afghanistan devastated by war.
