Take the Pledge to be a Mother for Peace with Code Pink
This Mother's Day, we are standing up for peace by creating a "Virtual Mother's Day Quilt" - an online photo mosaic - that weaves our strength as mothers and women together to declare peace! Join us by submitting a photo Mother's Day pledge!

Over 130 years ago, following the American Civil War, Julia Ward Howe wrote the Original Mother's Day Proclamation calling upon the women of the world to unite for peace. Today, with war and violence igniting across the globe -- from Iraq to Darfur, from Gaza to Somalia, from Afghanistan to the U.S.-Mexico border -- the call for peace has never been more pertinent. Join us in declaring:

"We will not raise our children to kill another mother's child."

The final mosaic will be used to create a Mother's Day e-card, and will also be printed out as a banner to accompany our real Mother's Day Cozy outside the White House.

Here's how to submit your photo pledge: http://codepinkalert.org/article.php?id=4813
