The Peace Ribbon is a traveling exhibit, conceived by Jacque Betz, CODEPINK Florida. It now includes 122 panels, each 2 feet X 3 feet, which are created by people to honor and remember civilians and soldiers who have died in the war and occupation of Iraq. See the CODEPINK website for details. Click on “Campaigns” on the left side bar on the home page, then select: Peace Ribbon
Thanks to Carol Marley for these wonderful images of the Peace Ribbon display in Freedom Park on September 30, 2006.

CODEPINK members and their supporters did a magnificent job with our first major outdoor event on Saturday, September 30, 2006.
CODEPINKers set up, staffed and cleaned up after our event, leaving the space in pristine condition. Someone even brought a rake!
Work started at 9AM and continued throughout the day with everything finally loaded back into cars and trucks after the sun set.
The Peace Celebration area, behind the band shell at Freedom Park, was a beautiful and peaceful space, with the 122 panels of the Peace Ribbon displayed, attached to a pink clothes line strung between 6 trees on the island.
Here is another link to a few more photo’s of the Impeachment Rally that was given to me in the comment section, you can view them HERE
