This report sheds light on the financial and organizational underpinnings behind the recent “No Kings” protests, revealing significant involvement from billionaire George Soros and his associated foundations.
While the protests were portrayed as grassroots movements expressing democratic engagement, it appears that the group Indivisible, a leading organizer, received substantial funding—up to $3 million in 2023—from Soros’ Open Society Action Fund. This funding aligns with Indivisible’s broad social welfare efforts, including managing communication and data for the nationwide rallies.
Notably, the article highlights a certain irony: Indivisible was highly critical of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer earlier this year, yet the same movement now celebrates him at rallies backed by Soros-linked funds. This points to the complex and evolving nature of political alliances within these activist networks.
The connections extend beyond just funding. Leadership ties between Indivisible co-founders and other Soros-linked political figures illustrate a deeply intertwined network. Indivisible’s history of funding from other progressive organizations like Tides Advocacy also underscores the breadth of financial support flowing through left-leaning channels.
Critics like Senator Ted Cruz see this as evidence of orchestrated left-wing efforts that might incite violence, while government officials have begun tracking these financial flows more closely. The Trump administration, in particular, has expressed intentions to investigate and potentially charge Soros and his affiliates with racketeering for their alleged role in supporting protests deemed violent.
Ultimately, this raises questions about how grassroots protests are organized and funded in modern American politics. What initially looks like spontaneous civic action may be part of a larger, well-funded strategy with influential backers shaping the political landscape behind the scenes. The scrutiny over these networks is expected to intensify as authorities and political commentators continue examining the true drivers of such nationwide demonstrations.
