Caleb Maupin is a journalist and political analyst who appears frequently on Iran's Press TV and RT.[1] Tasnim News Agency described him as "a native of Ohio who has campaigned against war and the U.S. financial system."[2] He was a member of Workers World Party,[3] and Fight Imperialism – Stand Together (FIST) (WWP's youth wing) though he has recently distanced himself from that organization. He also worked as a youth organizer for the International Action Center and was involved in the Occupy Wall Street movement from its planning stages.[4]

His political activism began while attending Baldwin-Wallace College in Ohio.[5] In 2010, he video recorded a confrontation between Collinwood High School students who walked out to protest teacher layoffs and the police.[6] His video footage resulted in one of the students being acquitted in juvenile court.[7] He was a figure within the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City.[8][9][10] Maupin writes on American foreign policy and other social issues.[11]

He was a featured guest at the 2014 New Horizon Conference in the Islamic Republic of Iran.[12][13] On September 6, 2013, he appeared on CNN as a representative of those protesting US intervention in Syria.[14] In May 2015, he accompanied a mission of the Red Crescent Society of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Yemen, on the Iran Shahed Rescue Ship.[15] The ship did not reach Yemen, but was diverted to the port of Djibouti [16]

In February 2016 he was the featured international speaker at the Second Congress of the Trade Union Center of Brazil.[17] He gave a lengthy address describing efforts by US corporations to manipulate the price of oil.[18]
