As Barack Obama is sworn in as President of the United States of America, we are more mindful than ever of the Promises for Peace he made to the American people during his campaign, especially his promises to:

  1. End the war in Iraq
  2. Shut Down Guantánamo
  3. Reject the Military Commissions Act
  4. Stop Torture
  5. Work to eliminate nuclear weapons
  6. Hold direct, unconditional talks with Iran.
  7. Abide by Senate approved international treaties.

Please join us in REMINDING OBAMA! On January 20th, 2009, tens of thousands will be donning pink ribbons reading "Obama, keep your Promises for Peace." Tie the ribbon around your finger to remind Obama of his Promises. Send us your photos with your Promises for Peace ribbons to photos4codepink@gmail.com.
