On March 8th, International Women's Day, a delegation of Iraqi mothers planned to go to Washington DC, where they were joined by grieving U.S. mothers like Cindy Sheehan. Together they planned to deliver "Women Say No to War" signatures to the White House, meet with members of Congress, release a report on the impact of this war on Iraqi women, and call for the U.S. troops to leave Iraq.

CODEPINK is looking for people to help fund the visit of the Iraqi women, and to support Codepink's Iraqi women fund.

CODEPINK collected thousands of signaturesfor a Urgent Call for Peace by March 8th.

The Women Say No to War website says, "The larger picture in organizing for March 8 is to create a connected, sustained way for women to stand against war everywhere. If we can halt the largest military empire in human history, we will know we can stop wars in many places." List of events There were two events in Oakland and one in San Luis Obispo on that day.
