Last week, an American journalist posted an exposé on a “pro-Palestinian” protest in London, UK. Among his revelations was the identity of protestor Katherine Hajiyianni, who is a long-time professional, paid to protest, organiser and protestor.
The organisations and protests Hajiyianni has been involved with demonstrate that the “pro-Palestinian” protests she helps to organise are not about “Palestine,” but about furthering a socialist agenda.

American independent journalist Nate Freidman attended a “pro-Palestinian” protest in London. Friedman didn’t indicate when the protest took place. His video was uploaded onto YouTube on 4 January 2026.
Introducing his report, Friedman said, “I arrived early, and what I saw shocked me. I start by investigating the people making money on the outskirts of the protest, then work my way into the centre, all while revealing how they got here, the tax money facilitating it, and if this is all coming to the States.”
About 15 mins into his report, Friedman approached the front line of the march as it was preparing to begin. He approached Katherine Hajiyianni and asked if he could ask her a question. She refused.

Hajiyianni is a paid protest leader/organiser in London. According to her LinkedIn profile, she started working for the Stop the War Coalition in October of 2023 as a Head Steward for the national Gaza demonstrations, occasionally the chief steward.
“[She has also] professionally protested with Code Pink, the organisation that’s led by Jodie Evans, the wife of Roy Neville Singum, who gave $20 million to fund anti-West rallies in the [United] States,” Friedman said. “She was a campaign assistant for Nuclear Disarmament … She worked on the Council for Arab-British Understanding [Caabu] … [She has organised] a rally to ‘tax the rich’.”
“The whole thing is to make you believe it’s just about Palestine, but it’s not. It’s about socialism,” Friedman said. “When I initially approach the protest, you’re met with a tent that says Socialist Workers Party. Make no mistake, this is about socialism and the destruction of the West.”
Friedman is not exaggerating. The Socialist Workers Party is a far-left political party in the United Kingdom. It is a revolutionary socialist party with branches across Britain and is part of the International Socialist Tendency, a global network of Trotskyist groups. “Marxist theory is an essential guide to fighting capitalism,” its website states.
We have mentioned Haniyianni’s current employer, Stop the War Coalition, before. The group is part of the Palestine Coalition, along with the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Palestinian Forum in Britain, Friends of Al-Aqsa, Muslim Association of Britain and Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

To indicate who Hajiyianni is rubbing shoulders with, let’s take a look at some of the organisations Stop the War Coalition is associated with.
The Palestinian Solidarity Campaign is a UK-based organisation that promotes anti-Israel campaigns and has ties to terrorist organisations. Some of its members and affiliates have connections to EU-designated terror groups. It has links to UK politicians and former politicians, such as Jeremy Corbyn and George Galloway, and has also collaborated with other groups like Black Lives Matter.
The Muslim Association of Britain has direct ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. The Muslim Brotherhood is one of the world’s oldest political-Islamist groups, founded in Egypt but global. Its only aim is to control the world through Islam.

We have previously reported that George Soros has been funding groups that are organising “pro-Palestinian” activities and campaigns. In 2024, it was revealed that Soros was paying student radicals in the USA to fuel nationwide explosions of anti-Israel protests. In the same year, Vince Barwinski pointed out that since 2016, groups behind the “Israel-bashing protests” backing the 7 October 2023 Hamas attacks, have received more than US$16 million from the radical-left Jewish-Hungarian-American billionaire and Globalist.

Adding to Haniyianni’s dubious associations is Code Pink. As Friedman mentioned, it is funded by multi-millionaire technology entrepreneur Neville Roy Singham and his wife, Jodie Evans. According to the 2023 article below, they are Chinese propagandists and a primary source of the “pro-Palestinian” fury that was exploding on US streets at the time. As she has been involved with Code Pink, the article perhaps provides insight into Haniyianni’s ideology and aims.
The American Multimillionaire Marxists Funding Pro-Palestinian Rage
By Frannie Block, as published by The Free Press on 14 November 2023
The pro-Palestinian protests over the last month, where tens of thousands in the US. have chanted for the end of Israel, are not merely a story of organic rage.
They are also funded in large part by an uber-wealthy American-born tech entrepreneur: Neville Roy Singham, and his wife Jodie Evans.
Since 2017, Singham has been the main funder of The People’s Forum, which has co-organised at least four protests after 1,400 innocent Israelis were slaughtered by Hamas on 7 October. One rally, in Times Square, happened on 8 October before Israel had even counted its dead.
Based in Midtown Manhattan, The People’s Forum calls itself a “movement incubator for working class and marginalised communities to build unity across historic lines of division at home and abroad.” But a review of public disclosure forms shows that multimillionaire Singham and his wife, Evans, have donated over $20.4 million to The People’s Forum from 2017 to 2022 through a series of shell organisations and donor advisory groups – accounting for nearly all of the group’s funding.
Singham’s wealth stems from Thoughtworks, a software consulting company that he launched in 1993 in Chicago and sold in August 2017 to private equity firm Apax Partners for $785 million. That same year, The People’s Forum was founded and set up on the ground floor of a multi-story building on 37th Street just blocks from Times Square; Evans was also installed as one of its three board members. As of 2021, the organisation employed 13 staff members and held more than $13.6 million in total assets.
“I decided that at my age and extreme privilege, the best thing I could do was to give away most of my money in my lifetime,” said Singham, now 69, in a statement after selling his company, according to a New York Times investigation in August.
But Singham is more than just a Marxist with deep pockets. He is also a China sympathiser who lives in Shanghai and has close ties to at least four propaganda news sites that boost the Chinese Communist Party’s image abroad, the Times reported.
These Chinese media interests are helping sow discord in the US, Rep. Mike Gallagher, the chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, told The Free Press.
“The Chinese Communist Party uses tools like Confucius Institutes on college campuses, TikTok’s addictive algorithm and organisations like those that Mr. Singham funds to divide and weaken America,” Gallagher said.
Born to a Cuban mother and a Sri Lankan father in 1954, Singham grew up steeped in far-left politics. His father, Archibald Singham, worked as a professor of political science at Brooklyn College and was the first scholar in residence at the New York State Martin Luther King Jr. Institute for Non-violence, in Albany. He also advised the UN on third-world development and penned multiple books, including ‘Non-Alignment in an Age of Alignments and Namibian Independence: A Global Responsibility’.
After spending his early days in Connecticut, Singham grew up partly in Jamaica. When he was 17, he joined the radical Marxist group and labour union League of Revolutionary Black Workers, and the following year, according to a 2021 blog post by Singham, “like all disciplined cadre [I] went to work in the factory.” That factory was a Chrysler plant in Detroit, where he took a central role with the league, helping organise strikes and partaking in “daily, intense self-criticism sessions.”
In 1974, the FBI investigated Singham as “potentially dangerous because of background, emotional instabilities or activity in groups engaged in activities inimical to the US,” according to its report, which he published on a blog. Two years later, Singham enrolled at Howard University, studying political science, before joining the ranks of corporate America with his global start-up. Within two decades, his company had employed over 4,500 people across 42 offices in 15 different countries. One magazine profile later referred to Singham “as something like the righteous antithesis of Peter Thiel, the Trump-supporting co-founder of PayPal.”
Though he became fabulously wealthy, he never gave up his radical politics. In a 2008 profile in Fortune, Singham said that Venezuela under left-wing populist Hugo Chavez was a “phenomenally democratic place” and that China’s economic policies should serve as a model for capitalist economies. “China is teaching the West that the world is better off with a dual system of both free-market adjustments and long-term planning,” he said.
In 2017, the same year he sold his company and kick-started The People’s Forum, Singham married Jodie Evans, a former Democratic political activist and presidential campaign manager for Jerry Brown, in a beachside ceremony in Runaway Bay, Jamaica. The couple called their Bob Marley-themed wedding “One Love Union” and advertised it in a logo incorporating the Jamaican flag and a power salute. Prominent leftist figures, including Vagina Monologues writer Eve Ensler and Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, attended the three-day event, which included a “radical chic festive” dress code and a three-hour panel discussion on “The Future of the Left.”
Singham’s wife Evans, 69, was a far-left political leader herself before she wed him. While married to a multimillionaire data scientist in 2002, she co-founded the anti-war nonprofit Code Pink, whose members are known for wearing pink peace sign earrings and protesting the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Last month, a group of Code Pink followers disrupted a Senate Appropriations Committee to chant for a cease-fire in Israel as they held up their red-painted hands—calling to mind a famous 2000 image of a Palestinian man who waved his blood-soaked hands to celebrate the lynching of two IDF reservists.
Now living in Shanghai, Singham shares an office with the Maku Group, a media company that aims to “tell China’s story well through innovation.” Singham was also a backer of pro-Chinese website Newsclick, based in India, as well as the now-defunct media company New Frame in South Africa, whose silence on China’s human rights abuses led one editor to resign in 2022.
Singham has also reportedly promoted the Chinese website Dongsheng News to his friends, telling them it “provides unique progressive coverage of China that has been sadly missing.”
A recent article on Dongsheng’s website makes the case for why, in Chinese cities, there is an “absence of large slums or pervasive homelessness that is so common to most of the rest of the world,” and praises China for building “a modern socialist society.”
Dongsheng News, according to the Times, shares an address with The People’s Forum.
In August, Marco Rubio sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland requesting the Department of Justice investigate whether Singham and his web of non-profits complied with the Foreign Agents Registration Act (“FARA”).
“The CCP is our greatest adversary, and we cannot allow it to abuse our open system to promote its malign influence any longer,” Rubio wrote.
Singham’s wife, Evans, was once critical of the Chinese government. In 2015, she stood in solidarity with Chinese feminists, writing on Twitter that the government must “stop brutal repression of their women’s human rights defenders.” But after marrying Singham, she started to change her tune. She launched the #ChinaIsNotOurEnemy campaign through Code Pink in 2020, and now leads a series of webinars on Code Pink’s YouTube page where she praises China’s “beautiful history” and its party-state political structure.
“The idea that it’s an authoritarian system that controls everything is, like, so crazy, what a crazy notion that we’ve been sold,” she said four months ago in an hour-long virtual talk. The people of China are not oppressed, she added, because “I know what it’s like to be with people who are oppressed.”
Despite her staunch support of the Muslim residents in Gaza, Evans justifies the oppression of Uyghur Muslims in China, where more than a million have been forcibly detained in “re-education camps,” leading to reports of beating and systemic rape.
In her YouTube talk, Evans argued that China’s treatment of Uyghurs was not as bad as the US treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. At least China, she said, was “not torturing and keeping people in jail for 16 years with no due process.”
Neither Singham nor Evans replied to multiple requests from The Free Press for comment on this piece. Singham previously denied having any ties to the CCP in an email to the Times.
“I categorically deny and repudiate any suggestion that I am a member of, work for, take orders from, or follow instructions of any political party or government or their representatives,” he wrote. “I am solely guided by my beliefs, which are my long-held personal views.”
At its multiroom modern headquarters in Midtown, which anyone can visit, The People’s Forum hosts classes like ‘Lenin and the Path to Revolution’, praising countries like China and Cuba that have “smash[ed] the shackles of Western imperialism,” as well as seminars like ‘Healthcare Under Siege and Apartheid’, blaming Israel for “discriminatory policies” and “genocide” in Gaza. One of the regular lecturers at the forum includes Singham’s friend, the Marxist intellectual Vijay Prashad. The treasurer of The People’s Forum, Chris Caruso, once worked for Singham at Thoughtworks as a research analyst.
The People’s Forum headquarters also boasts a socialist-themed coffee shop, The People’s Café, where visitors can order a $4 chai tea latte, a $10 Southwestern salad or an $11 Cuban panini, stuffed with pulled pork, ham and Swiss cheese. Its bookshop, 1804 Books – named after the year Haiti overthrew its French rulers – is stocked with hundreds of titles celebrating Communist heroes from Karl Marx to Che Guevara. According to tax filings from 2018 to 2021, the forum spent over $12 million in “leasehold improvements” to their office space.
Reviewing publicly available documents, The Free Press traced the money from Singham to The People’s Forum via a fund run by Goldman Sachs, which operates a philanthropy arm that enables wealthy clients to give large donations to non-profit causes. The fund, which operates separately from the bank, also serves to help donors conceal their identities.
A spokesperson for Goldman Sachs said the fund “offers clients a way to engage in charitable giving.”
“The Fund follows Internal Revenue Service guidelines for disclosing the organisations that receive charitable funds in a given year and also follows IRS guidelines for disclosing the names of donors of charitable funds,” the spokesperson wrote in an email to The Free Press.
Though Singham’s name is nowhere to be found on The People’s Forum’s website or its tax documents, the organisation isn’t shy about admitting they’re taking his cash. In 2021, to dispel allegations that the non-profit took in “dark money,” The Forum posted on X (then Twitter) that Singham is “a Marxist comrade who sold his company & donated most of his wealth to non-profits that focus on political education, culture & internationalism.”
“It seems to bother some folk that we receive funding that furthers our anti-imperialist politics,” the organisation wrote. “The folks who make allegations against us are steeped in the worst kind of racism, believing somehow that our funding robs us of agency & self-determination.”
The People’s Forum sings from the same pro-China hymn sheet as its chief funders. Last year, its executive director Manolo De Los Santos appeared on a programme on the YouTube channel of CGTN, a Chinese state-owned media group, and said China’s political and economic system puts “people first,” compared to the American system, which prioritises “profits over people.”
De Los Santos did not respond to a Free Press request for comment.
For now, the People’s Forum is focusing on its pro-Palestinian agenda, calling for “more marches, walk-outs, sit-ins and other forms of direct action directed at the political offices, businesses and workplaces that fund, invest and collaborate with Israeli genocide and occupation.” The next protest co-organised by the forum, called “Shut It Down for Palestine,” is taking place on 17 November in at least 18 locations across the world, including Copenhagen, New York City, Idaho and Iowa.
Meanwhile, Executive Director De Los Santos has made the organisation’s mission clear. He recently slammed this week’s March for Israel in D.C., calling it a “Pro-Genocide March,” while labelling its guest speakers “racists” and “fake progressives.”
And, in a separate post earlier this month, he praised the tens of thousands who attended the 4 November Free Palestine rally in D.C., co-organised by the Forum.
“I’m proud of my fellow organisers & the movements that made this moment possible. We came together to build this in [a] little over 2 weeks. We didn’t bow down to demands to be respectable, we refused to be intimidated by the state & we dared to build on the momentum of the struggle.
“There is no turning back now.”

There may be the odd person who works for an organisation but that does not detract from the Palestinian cause. This US investigator needs to realise that “socialism” is not essentially a bad word in UK. Indeed “we are all Palestinian” .. like as goes one go we all. The FOA are legit .. Hamas are resistance and resistance is legal .. so this guy can get lost.
Hi Michael Chapman, the “Palestinian cause” is a political agenda not a humanitarian cause.
“Palestine” is not a geographical location, it is a political ideology.
Who’s agenda is it? The use of the word “Palestine” perhaps gives us some clues. Other clues are: who’s think tank developed the detailed plan which evolved into the so-called “Gaza peace plan” and who has been proposed to head the Gaza International Transitional Authority (Gita)?
Once you answer those questions, then you start to understand why multi-millionaires have been funding the so-called “pro-Palestinian” campaigns and protests across the West. Anyone who is innocently supporting the “Palestinian cause” has been manipulated and used to further a political agenda that seeks to destroy them.
