Join CODEPINK as we make note of this National Holiday historically celebrated as a memorial to Civil War soldiers. This year we say No More War and Support the UN Call for a Global Ceasefire.

On this Memorial Day, we won't be going to the beach. In the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be calling out our government for spending $700Billion for the Pentagon but not enough $$$ for PPE and DEMAND...
