As the number of Iraqis who have lost their lives as a result of the war climbs well into the hundreds of thousands, it becomes difficult to understand the tragedy on a human level. Code Pink has been using shoes to remind people of the individuals who have lost their lives. Building up to the ralley tomorrow, Code Pink placed thousands of pairs of shoes, each labeled with the name of an Iraqi, on the lawn in front of the capitol and organized a press conference in front of the shoes.
The founders of Code Pink, a representative from the recent JohnsHopkinsUniversity Iraq study, the exectuive director of Veterans for Peace, and a representative of Iraqi Voices for Peace spoke at the press conference.
