<div><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#333333 size=2>While we are best known for our audacious, colorful actions, <FONT color=#ff0099>CODEPINK</FONT> is proud of the quieter work we do supporting women and mothers worldwide. Thanks to you, we saved a grieving mother's home from foreclosure in New York. Thanks to you, we assisted Iraqi refugees in Jordan and Syria. And this holiday season, we are asking you to help us assist Iraqi women who have remained inside Iraq, but have seen their homes, livelihoods and families destroyed as a result of our occupation and the violence it unleashed.</FONT></div>
<div><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#333333 size=2>Last year, we sent <FONT color=#ff0099>$10,000</FONT> to the Women & Knowledge Society in Iraq. Our dear sister Rashad sent us a report on the projects they had undertaken with our support, helping over 30 dispossessed widows set up small businesses in their homes. Whether it was by providing a sewing machine, fabric and thread that allowed a woman to become a seamstress, or a bread oven and a gas cylinder that created a home bakery, our donations gave these women, all of them the heads of their households, a way to feed themselves and their children (<A href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=G5AjaDwyXk%2BQIe%2FuZbuOVzFq1zuZRL7W" target=_blank><FONT color=#ff0099>see full account here</FONT></A>). <br>

Rashad wrote, "<FONT color=#ff0099>The Women & Knowledge Society is grateful to CODEPINK Women for Peace and its members for raising the funds that made these projects possible. We are only saddened by our inability to help the hundreds of thousands of impoverished Iraqi women who need assistance.</FONT>" This year, with your assistance, <A href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=lZA6S3jRNiqgWK41xKYpQTFq1zuZRL7W" target=_blank><FONT color=#ff0099>we will help more women financially</FONT></A> as we work to end the occupation that has so devastated their lives.</FONT></div>
