Code Pink Should Lose Tax-Exempt Status for 3 Key Reasons, Watchdog Group Tells IRS
16th April 2026
he leftist activist group Code Pink should lose its tax-exempt status for engaging in potentially illegal activity, violating tax rules against engaging in prohibited political activity and excess lobbying activity, and for supporting the interests of China without properly registering with the Department of Justice, a conservative group said in a letter to the IRS.
The Center to Advance Security in America “filed a request for review with the IRS of the tax-exempt status of Code Pink, an extreme organization that regularly engages in potentially illegal activities, including vandalism, blockades of U.S. military facilities, and regularly disrupting federal proceedings,” CASA Director James Fitzpatrick told The Daily Signal in a statement Tuesday.
“Code Pink is also intertwined in an opaque global network of nonprofit funding with ties to the Chinese Communist Party,” he added. “They engage in violent antisemitic demonstrations and have even appeared with individuals waving the flag of Hezbollah.”
“The American people demand an immediate investigation into this urgent matter,” Fitzpatrick concluded. “Hard-earned tax dollars should not be spent funding organizations that may be refusing to adhere to the law.”
