Code Pink is an anti-War movement founded shortly after the 9/11 attack by Jodie Evans, Medea Benjamin, and Diane Wilson. Code Pink works closely with United For Peace and Justice, whose leader Leslie Cagan is a longtime devotee of Fidel Castro and the Socialist Party USA.
Jodie Evans is a leftist activist and Democratic Party fundraiser who sits on the Board of Directors of the Rain Forest Action Network (RAN). Another RAN co-founder, Michael Roselle founded the Earth Liberation Front, which the FBI ranks as one of the foremost domestic terrorism threats in the United States. Evans was a key fundraiser for California governor Gray Davis.
In 1988 Medea Benjamin founded Global Exchange which has strong ties to the Communist Workers World Party. Benjamin is a pro-Castro activist who lived in Cuba and was a principal organizer of the 1999 Seattle riots in which some 50,000 protesters tried to shut down the World Trade Organization (WTO) meetings. Benjamin was a signatory in 2003 to Not in Our Name (NION) along with liberal activists and icons Bernardine Dohrn, Jim McDermott, Ramsey Clark, Noam Chomsky, and Cynthia McKinney. NOIN was started in 2002 by C. Clark Kissinger, a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP), a Maoist group calling for the overthrow of the U.S. government and its replacement with a Communist dictatorship.
Diane Wilson is and a radical Wiccan activist.
Senator Hillary Clinton addressed Code Pink in her Senate offices in March 2003. [1] Clinton justified her vote to authorize Operation Iraqi Freedom when she addressed the group,
- There is a very easy way for to prevent anyone from being to put into harms way and that is for Saddam Hussein to disarm. And I have absolutely no belief that he will. I have to say that this is something that I have followed for a decade. If he were serious about disarming, he would have been much more forthcoming. There may be progress, we may be destroying his missiles, there is no accounting for the chemical and biological stocks. I just have to respectfully disagree what the proximate cause of any action that might be taken is.
