Jodie Evans (born September 22, 1954) is an American political activist, author, and documentary film producer. Evans was a Democratic Party political activist who managed the 1992 U.S. presidential campaign of former California governor Jerry Brown. Evans co-founded the women's left-wing anti-war activist organization Code Pink with Medea Benjamin and others. She is a former board chair of Rainforest Action Network. In 2023, The New York Times published an article detailing the connections between her husband since 2017, Neville Roy Singham, and the Chinese Communist Party, stating that Evans had been critical of China's authoritarian government in 2015. Since 2017, 25% of Code Pink's funding has come from groups connected to Singham. Evans stated in 2023 that she now strongly supports China, and regards it as a defender of the oppressed and a model for economic growth without slavery or war.
