Susan Benjamin known as Medea the 58 year old US political activist renowned for co-founding Code Pink a worldwide network of people committed to working for peace and social justice, has been described as “one of America’s most committed — and most effective — fighters for human rights” by New York Newsday. Code Pink rose to prominence in confronting so called war mongers in congress and at national political party conventions. Although a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement, Code Pink is not exclusively for women, men are also invited to join the challenge to end militarism globally, and to redirect resources into health care, education and green jobs. A Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Benjamin known as an eloquent and energetic figure took her alias Medea from the Greek mythological character.
