Medea Benjamin, co-founder of women’s peace organization CODEPINK, has
become famous for fearlessly tackling head-on subjects most of us
studiously avoid. In Kingdom of the Unjust, she researches the
sinister nature of the relationship between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
In seven succinct chapters followed by a meditation on prospects for
change, Benjamin—cited by the L.A. Times as “one of the high-profile
members of the peace movement”—shines a light on one of the most
perplexing elements of American foreign policy. What is the origin of
this strange alliance between two countries that seemingly have very
little in common? Why does it persist, and what are its consequences?

This event is free and open to the public.
