Biden, Foreign Policy, and the Role of Feminists: A conversation with 5 Leading Feminists
Channel: CODEPINK
Date: 2020-11-12

In the wake of the 2020 US presidential election, Christine Ahn, Medea Benjamin, Diana Duarte, Gloria Steinem, and Cindy Wiesner will assess the outcome of the election and the role of feminist movements to advance a US foreign policy that is grounded in feminism, internationalism, and peace. 
Christine Ahn is the Founder and Executive Director of Women Cross DMZ, a global movement of women mobilizing to end the Korean War, reunite families, and ensure women’s leadership in peace building.
Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK and the co-founder of the human rights group Global Exchange. She has been an advocate for social justice for more than 40 years and has been working to promote a U.S. foreign policy that would respect human rights and gain us allies instead of contributing to violence and undermining our international reputation since 2001.
Diana Duarte is the Director of Policy and Strategic Engagement at MADRE, leading the organization's policy and public education work, and designing and implementing initiatives to advance women's human rights worldwide. She directs MADRE's Feminist Policy Jumpstart initiative, partnering with grassroots women worldwide to bring their perspectives and analysis to shape progressive US policymaking.
Gloria Steinem is a writer, lecturer, political activist, and feminist organizer. She travels in this and other countries as an organizer and lecturer and is a frequent media spokeswoman on issues of equality. She is particularly interested in the shared origins of sex and race caste systems, gender roles and child abuse as roots of violence, non-violent conflict resolution, the cultures of indigenous peoples, and organizing across boundaries for peace and justice.
Cindy Wiesner is a 25-year veteran of the social justice movement in the U.S. and internationally who currently serves as the executive director of the Grassroots Global Justice Alliance. She helped co-found the Climate Justice Alliance, and she has played a leadership role in the Peoples Climate Movement that organized the massive mobilizations in New York, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco in recent years, and is an advisor to Groundswell’s Liberation Fund. 

****This event will also include a presentation of the 2020 US Peace Prize, by Michael D. Knox, Chair, US Peace Memorial Foundation.
