Meet Cindy Sheehan—the California mom who turned unimaginable loss into a worldwide rallying cry for peace. After her son Casey died while serving in the U.S. Army during the Iraq War, Sheehan became the face of antiwar activism, earning the nickname 'Peace Mom.'

Sheehan’s relentless protests outside former President George W. Bush’s Texas ranch in 2005 went viral before viral was a thing. 📢 From candlelit vigils to global speaking tours, she’s reminded millions that peace starts with ordinary people refusing to stay silent. ✨
In an era of hashtag activism, Sheehan’s journey asks: What if grief could fuel hope? Her answer? A movement. 💬 "We don’t have to accept war as inevitable," she says. For young changemakers today, her legacy is a blueprint: Speak up, even when it’s hard. 🌏
