Just a flavor of who Cynthia McKinney is:
After serving in the Georgia Legislature, in 1992, McKinney won a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. She was the first African-American woman from Georgia in the U.S. Congress. She was the first Member of Congress to demand an investigation of the events of 9/11/2001. McKinney was criticized and as a result, she was defeated in 2002; however, she ran again and was re-elected in 2004.
In 2005, McKinney was a vocal critic of the government’s response to Hurricane Katrina. Cynthia introduced legislation to release documents related to the murders of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Tupac Shakur. She was the first Member of Congress to file articles of impeachment against George W. Bush; and she voted against every war-funding bill put before her. In 2008, Cynthia McKinney won the Green Party nomination and ran for U.S. President.
In December 2008, Cynthia made international headlines when her boat was rammed by the Israeli military as she was attempting to deliver medical supplies to Gaza. In 2009, Cynthia attempted to reach Gaza again, this time armed with crayons, coloring books, and school supplies. Her boat was overtaken in international waters by the Israeli military and she was kidnapped to Israel. Cynthia spent 7 days in an Israeli prison. Finally, Cynthia entered Gaza by land in July 2009 with George Galloway's Viva Palestina.
Cynthia completed a cross-country bicycle ride with Bike4Peace 2010. In August 2011, Cynthia visited 21 cities to end the bombing of Libya. More recently, Cynthia participated in Malaysia’s Perdana Peace Organization and served as a Juror on the Bertrand Russell Tribunal on Palestine.
In 2015, Cynthia completed her dissertation on the transformational leadership of Hugo Chavez and was awarded a Ph.D. in Leadership and Change.

Cynthia McKinney Illustrated Bio 2025
Cynthia’s Brief Bio
Cynthia McKinney is an international peace and human rights activist, noted for
her inconvenient truth-telling about the U.S.war machine. She was held for seven days in an
Israeli prison after attempting to enter Gaza by sea and traveled to Libya during U.S. bombing
and witnessed the crimes against humanity committed against that country's people. In
addition to Libya, she has traveled to Cuba, Syria, Russia, Iran, Pakistan, and as she puts it:
“Wherever U.S. Bombs are dropping or U.S. sanctions are biting.” She is the author or editor
of four Clarity Press books: she has written one book Ain't Nothing Like Freedom and
edited The Illegal War On Libya and the 2018 book, How the U.S. Creates Sh*thole
Countries. She was in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) researching U.S. and Western
allegations that Chinese Muslims were being subjected to genocide at the time of the
discovery of SARS-CoV-2. After just barely exiting China before it and the world “locked
down,” Cynthia shifted the focus of her next book from Muslims in China to the viral
phenomenon gripping the world. This resulted in the first book published on the political
economy of the coronavirus: WHEN CHINA SNEEZES, From the Coronavirus Lockdown to
the Global Politico-Economic Crisis.
