Ladies 4 Latvia March
Some things to remember in order to create a safe and inclusive environment for all those marching:
1. CODEPINK addresses non-gender specific issues and attempts to change public perception on a platform based on creativity and inclusion.聽
2. We don鈥檛 want to put constraints on your creativity however, it is necessary that you understand that some of your brothers and sisters may not feel as comfortable with certain provocative forms of protests. We ask that all participants conduct themselves in a respectful manner.
3. Although we are a feminist led organization, our protests are not limited exclusively to women. We encourage you to bring your sons, brothers, and husbands to the march; the more the merrier!聽

Our Plan
Join us on Sunday April 2nd at 10 AM, as we march on Parliament Hill in Ottawa to raise awareness about this issue.
Ideally, we hope to discourage the federal government from deploying our troops and putting them into unnecessary danger. However, we are practical people here at CODEPINK; we understand that this may not be possible.聽
Therefore, we strive to have our role to return to being one of reassurance rather than deterrence.聽

The Issue
Did you know that Canada is sending 450 troops into Latvia this year? This mission, dubbed Operation REASSURANCE, is actually a mission of deterrence. Not cool Canada, not cool. Below are some articles that provide more information: 聽
