Code Pink: Women for Peace (often stylized as CODEPINK) is a left-wing, anti-war organization registered in the United States as a 501(c)(3) organization. It focuses on issues such as drone strikes, the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, Palestinian statehood, the Iran nuclear deal, human rights in Saudi Arabia, and peace on the Korean Peninsula. The organization has regional offices in Los Angeles, California, and Washington, D.C., and several chapters in the U.S. and abroad.[4][5]

With members wearing the group's signature pink color,[6] Code Pink has conducted marches, protests, and other activist action in order to promote its goals. The organization describes itself as female-initiated,[7] but it encourages men to participate in its activities.[8]

The organization's political positions, especially those regarding China and Venezuela, and funding have created controversy and drawn congressional scrutiny.[9][10][11][12]
