On October 24 2006, NATO bombed and killed 90 people during Eid al-Fitr in Panjwayi, Afghanistan.

NATO bombed the village for 5 hours and razed 25 homes.

20 years later, the U.S. is still bombing civilians.

The war of terror never ended.

25 years ago today, the PATRIOT Act became law.

This Act has let the U.S. government spy on its population, detain people indefinitely, and enforce a huge surveillance apparatus against the American people.

Did you know you can bank at the post office in China?

With nearly 40,000 banking outlets, China’s postal banking system brings affordable financial services to millions of people, including those in rural communities.

The U.S. once had postal banking too, from 1911 to 1967. Today, millions of Americans remain unbanked or underbanked, while the banking industry continues to oppose bringing postal banking back.
We already have post offices across the country. Why not put them to work serving people, not just private banking profits?

We’re often told that religion is banned in China. But is that actually true?

From Buddhist temples to mosques and churches, religious communities continue to practice their faith across China.

We visited Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou to see for ourselves.

What's brewing in China? Chinese coffee chains are challenging Starbucks with drinks starting at just $1.40! With more than 30,000 locations, Luckin is making coffee cheaper, more convenient, and more accessible. In a country known for its centuries-old tea culture, a coffee revolution is underway!

The U.S. is interfering in Brazil's elections.

From D.C. we stand against this attempt to interfere and destabilize Brazil's democratic process.

This is what the United States is arming.

End the occupation now.

[CODEPINK @codepink]

The Israeli occupation is escalating violent raids in 15 towns across the occupied West Bank.

More than 70 Palestinians have been abducted.

US-backed terrorism.

Decades of CIA operations have failed to overthrow the Cuban government.

If you want to create positive change in Cuba, lift the blockade.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time.

The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few; seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA.

[CODEPINK @codepink]

A taxpayer uprising is coming to Washington, DC between November 10-12.

Be part of it.

Join the CODEPINK contingent for three days of nonviolent action as we take a stand and demand:

❗️No more money for war!
❗️End the war on Iran
❗️No more money for Israel
❗️Stop the $1.5 trillion war budget
❗️Invest in health, education, housing, green energy!

This is our chance to demand this war-making, greed-driven, ecocidal ship around.

BOYCOTT APPLE IPHONE!

CODEPINK and Friends of the Congo joined the Red Group today at Apple's flagship store in Washington, D.C. to call out the company's complicity in genocide for the international Apples Against Apartheid No Blood Tech day of action.

China is making electric cars affordable for everyday people, with EVs starting at around $10,000. Meanwhile, Americans are paying tens of thousands more. Instead of treating China as an enemy and shutting out affordable EVs with massive tariffs, why not cooperate?
China and the U.S. could work together to create good jobs, make electric vehicles more affordable, and tackle the climate crisis.
So who really benefits from keeping Chinese EVs out? American consumers and the planet, or corporate profits?

Across Cuba, maternity homes provide round-the-clock care, nutritious meals and a safe environment for women with high-risk pregnancies.

But fuel shortages and prolonged blackouts are making it harder to keep these vital facilities running.

Your donation can keep the lights on in Cuban maternity homes.

CODEPINK proudly endorses the @wawog_now boycott of The New York Times in solidarity with Palestine.

For too long, the Times' reporting has justified US-Israeli war crimes in Palestine, denied the genocide in Gaza, and declined to accurately cover the decades of destruction, slaughter, and gender/sexual violence that the occupation has wreaked upon Palestinians.

The campaign demands:
❌ A review of anti-Palestinian bias in the NYT newsroom
❌ Retraction of the atrocity propaganda piece "Screams Without Words"
❌ An editorial calling for an end to arms sales to Israel

Beijing was once notorious for its dangerous air pollution. Today, the city looks dramatically different.
Through investments in clean energy, electric transportation, stricter emissions standards, and urban green spaces, China has made remarkable progress in improving Beijing’s air quality.
Medea returns to Beijing after many years to see the transformation firsthand. Imagine what the United States could accomplish if we invested $1.5 trillion in clean air, public health, and sustainable communities instead of pouring it into the Pentagon and the war machine!

"PEACE WITH IRAN NOW!"

Yesterday, New Yorkers rallied outside the office of Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to demand accountability for U.S. war crimes in Iran and an end to the war once and for all.

This is just cruel.

Trump wants to cut FEMA funding ($32B) to pay for his $1.5 TRILLION war budget.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

BREAKING:

Trump's head of FEMA just told states to prepare to handle disasters on their own.

The Trump admin's disaster chief told state officials they must increase their financial reserves and emergency capabilities to handle most disasters on their own — without federal help. https://t.co/C6X2KRyKsA
