Last month, Ms. Benjamin visited Iraq with families of some of our military personnel. This "reality tour" investigated the true living and emotional conditions which our nation's young men and women in uniform are exposed to on a daily basis. Not allowing moss to gather, Ms. Benjamin has also helped launch "Occupation Watch" in Baghdad, which will monitor conditions in Iraq. Ms. Benjamin will be presenting her "Report from Iraq: Firsthand View" in Half Moon Bay, on January 29.
In 1999, San Francisco Magazine named her one of the "60 Players who Rule the Bay Area." Benjamin, a Columbia University and New School for Social Research graduate, United Nations economist, global mother bear, co-founder of the feisty Code Pink: Women for Peace, and founding director of the human rights organization, Global Exchange, is a tireless force for social justice and peace. She is author of eight books, including "Bridging the Global Gap, The Peace Corps and More," and the award-winning book "Don't Be Afraid, Gringo: A Honduran Woman Speaks from the Heart." She helped produce various TV documentaries such as the anti-sweatshop video "Sweating for a T-Shirt". This activist, author, speaker, and former California senatorial candidate, is headed to the coastside.
