Make Music Not War: A Concert for Peace

PeaceConcert_Insta.jpg

Join CODEPINK on the National Mall on Friday, November 9th for a celebration of peace, love, and global community. In partnership with Catharsis on the Mall, we will hold a joyful festival that uses music and art as an alternative to Trump’s national military (war) parade taking place the next morning. We will begin at 5pm with singing, dancing, and artmaking into the night as we call for music, not militarism!

Participate in Creating Peace!!

Take leadership on an art space! Engage attendees in message-making for peace and create visuals to use against the next morning’s war parade. Let us know if you want to sponsor an art booth!

Send a peace ribbon or join the team to make it happen.  Inspired by the Climate Ribbon, we will thread our hopes and dreams together in a collaborative art project that reflects the community inclusion needed for lasting peace and social justice. We will decorate ribbons with our messages and tie the strips to a large peace sign. Learn more about the Peace Ribbon and how to get involved here.

Imagine a bright pink banner the length of the war parade with messages of peace, love and a global community. Join the team to make it happen. If you can't be with us in person, send a message to add to the banner.
