0:50Now PlayingDemocracynow.org - Medea Benjamin is the co-founder of CodePink, known worldwide for activism in the cause of justice and determination to confront politicians directly. Benjamin has been removed from scores of congressional hearings for speaking out against militarism and torture. In 2013, she famously interrupted President Obama several times to criticize his policies on drones and Guantánamo Bay. At the end of their exchange, Obama said, "The voice of that woman is worth paying attention to." As Obama delivers his final State of the Union, Benjamin outlines her hopes for a foreign policy agenda during his last year in office.
