"In this episode of CODEPINK Radio, hosts Marcy Winograd and Leo Flores highlight CODEPINK's peace delegation to Venezuela and CODEPINK's upcoming flotilla to break the US siege on Cuba. Our hosts also analyze why SOS Rubio embraced empire at the Munich Security Conference, and why Trump cries "fake news" when the Chair of the Joint Chiefs warns him not to attack Iran."

Jodie Evans interviews CODEPINK activist and Minneapolis local Marian Moore and learns about building community and expanding beyond our prison walls with story teller and community facilitator in Vermont Matthew Rudnicki.

This week on CODEPINK Radio, Marcy Winograd brings you a new episode featuring our first segment, Empire on the Rocks, with former CIA analyst John Kiriakou discussing the largely ignored story of Jeffrey Epstein and the geopolitical questions surrounding his network, followed by a conversation with Colette Cavanaugh of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee on how educators and advocates are navigating the teaching of Palestine in U.S. public schools and defending the right to tell the truth about history and current events.

In this episode of CODEPINK radio, Leonardo Flores speaks with Ana Maldonado and Deputy Nicolas Maduro Guerra about the US attack on Venezuela, the kidnapping of President Maduro and the response of the Venezuelan people.

In this week’s episode of CODEPINK Radio, Marcy Winograd and Jodie Evans examine a United States sliding into Level-4 danger as ICE terrorizes Minneapolis, media consolidation tightens censorship from CBS to TikTok, and Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace” advances ethnic cleansing in Gaza. They connect these crises to the kidnapping of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores and the deadly impact of U.S. sanctions across Latin America. In the second half of the show, Marcy speaks with Jeff Cohen, founder of FAIR, about who owns the media, how narratives are controlled, and where to find real independent news.

In this episode of CODEPINK Radio, host Jasmine sits down with Wars Not Green campaigner Aaron to unpack the climate and environmental stakes behind Trump’s latest acts of aggression in Venezuela, Iran, and Greenland, from oil and minerals to AI data centers and the war economy that binds them together. In the second half, CODEPINK digital organizing assistant Makayla joins to reflect on a year of local organizing under escalating U.S. imperialism, the role of political education, and how ordinary people can build community power, fight back against the war economy, and refuse consent for endless war.

In the first half of this episode, Marcy Winograd and Medea Benjamin co-host Empire on the Rocks to highlight acts of resistance to the Trump administration's wars at home and abroad. As the White House escalates ICE attacks on immigrants, dissenters, and US citizens, tens of thousands of people pour into the streets to protest across the country and take back their neighborhoods from lawless masked agents. Likewise, in Latin America, we see protesters in the streets of Venezuela demanding the return of their president Nicolas Maduro and an end to US regime change attacks. Marcy and Medea also discuss grassroots resistance to the the Trump, Netanyahu, Ellison propaganda machine that threatens to censor Palestinian voices at TikTok. On the second half of CODEPINK Radio, Marcy interviews Chas Freeman, retired 30-year diplomat and author, on Israel's genocide in Gaza and loss of support in the U.S.

This week on CODEPINK Radio, join CODEPINK, Watermelon Pictures, and the Palestinian Youth Movement for a powerful conversation on cultural production and its role in the Palestine solidarity movement. You’ll hear about CODEPINK’s activism, Watermelon Pictures’ cultural work, and concrete ways you can bring the fight for Palestinian liberation into your own cultural spaces.

Marcy Winograd and Medea Benjamin look back on 2025, reflecting on CODEPINK’s campaigns to challenge U.S. militarism, stop weapons shipments, confront propaganda, and build people-powered resistance—from Gaza and Cyprus to China, Venezuela, and Capitol Hill. They close by looking ahead to the fights and possibilities of 2026.
