CODEPINK: Women for Peace is an anti-war feminist grassroots peace and social justice movement of women that seeks positive social change through proactive, creative protest and non-violent direct action. In keeping with the name of the group, participants at Code Pink events normally wear pink.

The name "Code Pink" itself is a play on the Bush Administration's Department of Homeland Security's color coded alert system.

Code Pink was organized on November 17 2002, when they marched through the streets of Washington D.C. before setting up a four month vigil in front of the White House.

"Code Pink" also refers to a possible child abduction.
