Jodie Evans learned about civil disobedience from Jane Fonda as a teenage activist in the late 1960s, and is still being arrested with Jane Fonda in 2021. Along the way, she worked on the disruptive presidential campaign of Jerry Brown, co-founded CODE PINK with Medea Benjamin, and travelled on peace delegations to North Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Cuba and Venezuela. Today she is leading “China is Not Our Enemy”, with an urgent message of cross-cultural bridge-building as a remedy for insane hyper-militarism. For the 28th episode of the World Beyond War podcast, Marc Eliot Stein interviews Jodie Evans about her remarkable life of peace activism. Musical excerpt: George Harrison.
