Additional Description

Abstract

Through the method of textual analysis, this research examines the non-traditional organizational structure, web content of computer-mediated messages and overall function of CODEPINK, a women initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement. For the expansion of organizational communication theory and practice, CODEPINK will be analyzed to show its influence and effectiveness at advancing the social justice movement for peace. Relying on prior research from scholarly journals, the aforementioned analysis, and interviews with CODEPINK members, I posit that CODEPINK acts as an agent for change for peace and social justice.
