Makayla Heiser is CODEPINK's Campaign Manager.
Makayla graduated from Gonzaga University in December 2022 with a bachelor's in Political Science and double minors in Critical Race Theory and Women's and Gender studies. This introduced her to understanding how the system manipulated identities to divide, instead of unite the working class. Through student organizing with United Students Against Sweatshops, she began to understand just how far US imperialism and the ruling class’s deadly antics reached while also discovering the global power of solidarity within the working class and the importance of collective liberation. Since 2019 She has been involved in the greater movement for liberation with a strong background in labor and global justice.
Makayla is thrilled to be a part of a team that is committed to putting an end to the deadly war machine that invests trillions of dollars into destruction instead of feeding, housing, and providing for the people right here in occupied Turtle Island (aka the United States).
