Code Pink was founded on October 2, 2002 by women activists including Jodie Evans and Medea Benjamin. Soon after its inception, Code Pink launched a four-month vigil in front of the White House, beginning in November and culminating on March 8, International Women's Day, with a 10,000-person march.
The name "Code Pink" is a play on the United States Department of Homeland Security's color-coded alert system in which, for example, Code Orange and Code Red signify the highest levels of danger
