$54M CodePink-linked foundation shut down in California pops up at ramshackle Miami home

A far-left foundation that bankrolled CodePink and recently reported $54.6 million in assets before being shut down by regulators has resurfaced at a ramshackle Miami home.

Arc of Justice, led by CodePink co-founder Susan Medea Benjamin, lost its charitable registration after years of failing to file required financial paperwork with California. But what appears to be the same nonprofit is now registered at a small, single-story house owned by Benjamin's longtime partner and fellow activist, Tighe Barry, documents viewed by Fox News Digital show.

The sequence of events raises questions about why it fell out of compliance in California.

Arc of Justice has poured millions of dollars into left-wing and progressive activist organizations over the years, including CodePink, Global Exchange, the Alliance for Global Justice and the National Iranian American Council, according to IRS filings. Federal tax returns provided to Fox News Digital by Arc of Justice's attorney show the California foundation's assets grew from $51.4 million at the end of 2023 to $54.6 million at the end of 2024, while it continued distributing millions of dollars in grants.

CodePink has campaigned against U.S. policy toward and Cuba and has been accused by congressional investigators of promoting Chinese Communist Party interests — allegations the group has denied.

Benjamin, who has been a political activist for decades and has often disrupted congressional hearings, co-founded CodePink with Jodie Evans, the wife of Shanghai-based Marxist tech tycoon , whose funding network has come under congressional and federal scrutiny over alleged foreign influence and the use of tax-exempt organizations.

Now its Arc of Justices finances that are coming under the microscope.

"It's pretty unusual. Most private foundations are fairly scrupulous on their compliance efforts," Patrick Sternal, a former IRS official who specialized in tax-exempt organizations, told Fox News Digital. "So it's unusual for a private foundation with that much in the bank to fall out of compliance and to be suspended."

The California Attorney General's Office, led by Democrat Rob Bonta, revoked Arc of Justice's charitable registration in January 2025 after it failed to submit required annual filings with the state for 2020 through 2024. The foundation had already been suspended for more than a year before the revocation. The state Attorney General's Office told Fox News Digital that Arc of Justice had continually failed to respond to the registry's delinquency and suspension notices before its registration was revoked.

Under the revocation, Arc of Justice had 30 days to provide the state with an accounting of its charitable assets and was barred from distributing or spending them without the attorney general's prior written approval.

The years of noncompliance culminated in another notice from regulators on June 19, 2026, reiterating the outstanding asset-accounting requirement and warning that Arc of Justice couldnt distribute or spend charitable assets without the attorney general's written approval.

The notice said Arc of Justice would also have to provide regulators with enough information to assure the state that there had been "no loss of charitable assets" if it sought to have its registration reinstated. The Network Contagion Research Institute previously detailed Arc of Justice's regulatory problems in a May report examining the foundation's finances and activities.
