I received the following email from CODEPINK.

"We are writing to formally address and correct the false and defamatory statements made in your recent social media posts regarding CODEPINK. These claims—which falsely allege that our organization is funded by China, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), or any foreign government or entity—are entirely baseless and constitute libel."

So, I will share the facts without spin:

Per Wikipedia, CODEPINK is 25% funded by Neville Singham, who is living in Shanghai and got rich off spreading CCP propaganda, and is under investigation by Congress for FARA violations.

CODEPINK is running a campaign called "China is Not Our Enemy," which promotes pro-China messaging, including denial of the Uyghur genocide, an atrocity affirmed by the U.S. Department of State.

The founder of CODEPINK, Jodie Evans, is married to the aforementioned Neville Singham.

In fact, the Uyghur denialism goes so far that Jodie Evans said in a YouTube interview, that Uyghurs are terrorists traine

In fact, the Global Exchange delegation to Iran was so unusual that Medea Benjamin came under FBI scrutiny for it. This was reported in Tehran Times, an Iranian state-controlled news outlet.

There is no United States embassy in Iran, so it is notoriously difficult to visit there. Yet, Medea Benjamin herself was able to take a 28-person "people-to-people" delegate to Iran and speak to government officials there.

Stern letter written.

Hugo Chavez himself actively worked through Medea Benjamin by creating its own mouthpiece, Venezuela Information Office, and tapping into Global Exchange for activism.
