Arc of Justice foundation revokes California status and reappears in Miami
The nonprofit that funded CodePink lost its California charitable registration after years of missing filings and has since registered a new entity at a modest Miami home.
Arc of Justice, a far-left foundation that has funneled millions to groups such as CodePink, Global Exchange and the National Iranian American Council, saw its California charitable registration revoked by Attorney General Rob Bonta after it failed to file required reports for 2020-2024. The foundation, which reported assets of $54.6 million at the end of 2024, was given a 30-day deadline to account for its holdings but has not complied.
In June 2026 the state issued another notice warning that the foundation could not spend its assets without written approval. Meanwhile, on May 8, 2026, the same leaders—Benjamin’s partner Tighe Barry, her daughter Maya Danaher and former secretary Jonathan Raggett—incorporated a new Arc of Justice nonprofit in Florida, listing the same Miami duplex as its address. Attorneys for the foundation say the Florida entity is a placeholder and holds no assets, while regulators note no transfer or merger has been approved. Experts highlight the unusual nature of a multi-million-dollar private foundation falling out of compliance and stress that any asset movement would require additional legal steps.
Why it matters
The case highlights how large charitable foundations can evade oversight, raising concerns about transparency of activist funding.
