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.

I would say that such a write-in will simply split votes from Adams. I encourage you to think outside the box and go opposite. Find another left-wing candidate that splits votes from Mamdani.
Perhaps a FARA investigation is in order.
And never forget: the Democratic party has a foreign subversive problem.

In short, Medea Benjamin and Global Exchange have been working with adversarial foreign governments all over the world. Not only that, but they have been at the center of many protests - per last post, the 1999 Seattle WTO riots among them.
Hugo Chavez himself actively worked through Medea Benjamin by creating its own mouthpiece, Venezuela Information Office, and tapping into Global Exchange for activism.

Medea Benjamin's affiliation with Venezuela goes beyond making tours. She was one of the activists squatting at the Venezuelan embassy in 2019 to support the installation of Maduro as President.

Global Exchange also visited Venezuela - back then, Venezuela was promoting luxury people-to-people exchanges with the tourists meeting Chavez himself.
The Sandinistas are a left-wing political party which was once at the center of a CIA coup. It is the party which Daniel Ortega belongs to.
So, yes, Medea Benjamin's Global Exchange took others on a trip to Nicaragua to meet the left-wing activists there.
