CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin is leading a 12-day, 11-night tour of China this week, telling prospective attendees they will learn about the communist country's "revolutionary history" and marvel at its "socialist development" — a trip that lands as federal prosecutors continue a grand jury investigation into the sprawling left-wing funding network connected to the group, according to Fox News Digital reporting.
Sign-up materials on CodePink's own website, cited in the Fox News reporting, lay out an itinerary across Shanghai, Chongqing, Zunyi, Loushanguan, Maotai Village and Guiyang. The estimated cost runs between $3,000 and $4,000 per person depending on final headcount. The promotion promises attendees will be "greeted by local Shanghai comrades," with tours led by Benjamin and CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans.
Jammin 99.9 (WKXB FM) also reported the tour details Tuesday.
Who Is Paying for the Revolution
The trip is only half the story. Fox News Digital's investigation identified Neville Roy Singham — Evans' husband — as a primary funder of CodePink and a much larger ecosystem of activist nonprofits. Singham, 72, sold his tech company for an estimated $785 million in 2017, and since that year has directed roughly $278 million into nonprofit organizations that regularly stage anti-ICE, anti-Israel and pro-Iran demonstrations, per the Fox reporting.
Singham has publicly denied taking direction from the Chinese government, stating he is guided by his own political beliefs. Benjamin has likewise said CodePink receives no money from the Chinese Communist Party.
Those denials have not stopped federal investigators. In June, Fox News Digital first reported that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York opened a grand jury investigation into alleged money laundering, bank fraud and wire fraud involving Singham and his network. No criminal charges have been filed against Singham or the organizations in connection with those allegations.
Evans's travel to China is routine, per the Fox reporting — visits framed partly around seeing her husband, described in that reporting as a Marxist and CCP sympathizer.
A Coalition on a Schedule
The CodePink tour also follows reporting on a globally coordinated protest apparatus. A Fox News Digital investigation identified 179 organizations in a coalition promoting a "coordinated global day of action" against Israel, with 322 events listed across three days, including rallies in Malaysia, Bangladesh, Canada and South Africa."
Last month, Evans marched alongside communist and Marxist groups protesting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to the United Nations General Assembly, according to the Fox News reporting. Benjamin was among the CodePink protesters drawing attention at that event.
What the Trip Actually Buys
That is what the money is for. Not exchange programs, not academic study — a curated pilgrimage sold to left-wing Americans, arranged by an organization that federal prosecutors are examining over where its money comes from and where it goes.
Meanwhile, the cash keeps moving. Roughly $278 million since 2017, spread across a nonprofit web whose demonstrations hit a handful of consistent targets: ICE, Israel, and American foreign policy generally. The tour, the protests, and the investigation are not three stories. They are one.
Our Take
Here's the part CodePink hopes you never connect: the same organization flying Americans to China to admire "revolutionary history" is the organization a federal grand jury is examining over alleged money laundering tied to a single mega-donor married, literally and ideologically, to one of its co-founders.
Benjamin and Evans can keep telling anyone who asks that no CCP money touches their operation. That's their line, and they're entitled to it. But a grand jury subpoena is not a press release. Money laundering, bank fraud, wire fraud — those are the lenses the Southern District of New York is applying to Singham's network, and CodePink sits inside that network.
Ask yourself a simple question. If a conservative nonprofit's co-founder married a billionaire who moved $278 million into activist groups — and then flew donors to a foreign capital to celebrate its leaders — how many days of wall-to-wall coverage would that get? Every cable network, every morning show, every front page. Instead, this tour is being advertised like a church group bus trip to Branson.
The grand jury is the tell. Prosecutors don't convene grand juries over nothing. The question for every patriot watching this story: where does foreign-aligned money stop being politics and start being a crime? The answer is coming from a federal courtroom — and nobody on that plane to Shanghai is going to like it.
