    George Soros throws $1M behind Stacey Abrams’ second gubernatorial run

    Stacey Abrams goes from debt to millionaire

    ‘Outnumbered’ panelists discuss how activist and Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams went from being hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to reporting a net worth of $3.17 million.

    Liberal billionaire George Soros has pushed $1 million into Georgia to back Stacey Abrams’ second attempt at landing in the governor’s office, filings show.

    Soros’ Democracy PAC II, a federal committee bankrolled by $125 million from the financier for the 2022 elections, made a $1 million donation to One Georgia Inc. on March 11, Federal Election Commission records show. 

    One Georgia Inc. is a leadership committee launched to aid Abrams’ candidacy, and Abrams nor the group appear to have publicly announced its existence.

    In April, however, a federal judge ruled that it had to suspend activities until she locks up the Democratic nomination at the end of May, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. 

    One Georgia does not appear in state records due to its suspension. Soros’ federal disclosures show that the group shares an Atlanta address with Abrams’ gubernatorial campaign committee.

    The committee has also received a cash infusion from Democratic Governors Association-Georgia and another Abrams’-connected entity. DGA-Georgia made a $1 million donation to One Georgia on March 11, the same day as the Soros donation, and The Fair Fight PAC transferred $1.5 million to One Georgia three days later, federal records show, meaning it has at least $3.5 million sitting in its coffers for its reactivation.

    One Georgia also quietly established a nonprofit arm in Delaware on February 28, corporation filings in that state show. The nonprofit also does not appear in Georgia state records.

    In addition to the $1 million donation to Abrams’ leadership committee, George Soros and multiple relatives donated nearly $60,000 directly to Abrams’ gubernatorial campaign earlier this year, according to a campaign filing. Soros and two of his children, Alexander and Andrea, each made three donations on Jan. 11. Each set of donations from the three Soros family members added up to $19,700.

    The Soros family donated another $1.3 million to the Democratic Party of Georgia in 2018 when Abrams ran unsuccessfully for governor.

    Michael Vachon, Soros’ spokesperson and the treasurer of Democracy PAC II, did not respond to a Fox News Digital inquiry on the donation.

    George Soros-backed political group supporting candidate in Arkansas prosecuting attorney’s race

    NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

    A George Soros-backed political group has thrown more than $100,000 behind a candidate for prosecuting attorney in Little Rock, Arkansas, according to online records.  

    Financial records show the Arkansas Justice and Public Safety PAC formed in late April, with Soros being its exclusive funder. 

    Of the $321,000 Soros has given to the organization, more than $106,000 has gone to supporting Alicia Walton, a former public defender running for the vacated position of prosecuting attorney for the Sixth Judicial District. The district covers Perry and Pulaski Counties, which includes the state capital, Little Rock.

    The funding has been a much-needed boost for Alton who has raised less than $20,000. Her competitor, Will Jones, has raised around $144,000.

    The money Arkansas Justice and Public Safety PAC has spent so far, has gone to research, polling, and consulting in support of Walton. That included about $40,000 towards airing ads on seven Little Rock stations, the Arkansas Times reported.

    Watson, a public defender, told Black Consumer News she would bring her experience in the criminal justice system – both as a prosecutor and a crime victim – to the position she is seeking.  

    “With that experience in mind, I will work to empower the victims, dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline, provide a pathway for those with mental health and substance abuse challenges. It is time for the criminal justice system to work for all of us,” she said. 

    According to her website, Walton is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and was “instrumental in creating the Pulaski County Veterans Treatment Court.”

    “Alicia believes that the current criminal legal system is fundamentally flawed and needs reform-minded individuals in order to achieve equity,” her website states. “It’s time for Alicia Walton – the Progressive Candidate.” 

    Arkansas Republicans have pounced on the news of Soros’ involvement in the prosecuting attorney’s race. 

    “Crime increases around the Nation where Soros funded Das and Prosecutors reign,” the group wrote in a statement. “Now as crime is on the rise in Little Rock, Soros turns his attention and cash to the Central AR Prosecuting Attorney’s Race, supporting soft on crime Alicia Walton.”

    Shaun King group heavily involved in efforts to save far-left San Francisco DA Boudin from recall election

    NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

    A group co-founded by Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King is heavily involved in saving far-left San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin from his June 7 recall election. 

    The Real Justice PAC, co-founded by King, is working overtime to ensure Boudin remains in office as critics seek to oust him over what they say is his lack of criminal enforcement and failure to make San Francisco safe.

    King and individuals associated with Real Justice have a vested interest in the controversial DA through a separate and little-known group called the Grassroots Law Project, which was co-created by King and houses a criminal justice campaign involving Boudin.

    SHAUN KING’S TWITTER ACCOUNT DISAPPEARS AFTER LIBERAL WRITER CLAIMS MUSK TAKEOVER IS ‘ABOUT WHITE POWER’

    The Grassroots Law Project campaign also counts far-left Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner as a member. The Real Justice PAC has likewise worked alongside Krasner for two of his past campaigns and, in the process, has twice broken campaign finance laws.

    The Real Justice PAC is now aiding Boudin through the San Franciscans Against the Recall of Chesa Boudin PAC, which the Real Justice PAC sponsors. The PAC also sponsors the Stand With Chesa website, which looks to gather volunteers and garner support for Boudin. 

    “Republicans, the police union, and the ultra-wealthy are banding together to overturn the results of the free and fair election of Chesa Boudin,” the website states. “They want to roll back his progress on creating real public safety solutions, reducing incarceration, and holding police accountable.”

    The Real Justice-steered efforts to boost Boudin have received cash through a daisy chain of entities tied to King and other group employees.

    Their San Francisco PAC’s most significant contributor is Real Justice’s federal PAC, which has pushed $150,000 into its coffers. Its federal PAC’s biggest donor is the Grassroots Law PAC, which has passed $200,000 to Real Justice’s federal PAC. 

    Becky Bond, a Real Justice co-founder and the treasurer of its federal PAC, is also the treasurer of the Grassroots Law PAC, its filings show. 

    The Grassroots Law PAC, meanwhile, appears to be affiliated with the Grassroots Law Project, a nonprofit King co-founded that runs the criminal justice efforts that include Boudin and Krasner.

    King quietly co-founded the Grassroots Law Project in 2020, which aims to “radically transform the American legal system” by working to change laws and elect progressive candidates to the federal and local governments. 

    SHAUN KING LIVES LAVISHLY IN LAKEFRONT JERSEY HOME

    The group says they’ve helped move more than $235.5 million “into real public safety solutions that can replace police” in Philadelphia, San Diego, Phoenix, Austin and Houston.

    In the summer of 2020, the Grassroots Law Project also launched the Truth, Justice, and Reconciliation Commission, which seeks to “address decades of harm caused by law enforcement and prosecutorial overreach.” 

    Boudin was one of three district attorneys tapped by the group as part of its three-city pilot program.

    “Prosecutors have a special responsibility to promote justice and reconciliation with the communities whose needs have historically been neglected,” Boudin said at the commission’s launch. 

    “In San Francisco we are working to not only enact changes and create policies that hold police accountable going forward, but also to build trust with those who have been hurt by the lack of police accountability in the past,” Boudin said. 

    As part of the campaign, Rachel Rollins, a Boston-area district attorney, and Krasner also launched Truth and Justice commissions to “review harm caused by the justice system.”

    SAN FRANCISCO VOTERS ‘DUPED’ BY DA, CHESA BOUDIN HAS ‘GOT TO GO,’ SAY BAY AREA RESIDENTS 

    Real Justice, likewise, was involved in past Krasner elections. The past efforts twice resulted in broken campaign finance laws.

    The most recent incident, in 2021, involved Real Justice’s political director Brandon Evans, who acted as Krasner’s campaign manager. Krasner and Real Justice, however, had failed to make it transparent that Evans wasn’t – in reality – a part of the Krasner campaign. 

    Instead, Krasner’s campaign had front-loaded consulting cash to Real Justice while Evans worked for the PAC, the Daily Beast reported. 

    “There was no way for the public to know how the Krasner campaign was paying the PAC for staff, including its campaign manager Brandon Evans, and for other services,” Shane Creamer, the ethics board executive director, told The Philadelphia Inquirer. 

    “The disclosure errors by both the PAC and the Krasner campaign combined to cause a lack of public transparency about how the embedded staffers were being paid,” Creamer said.

    Krasner’s campaign was hit with a $10,000 fine, while Real Justice received a $30,000 penalty.

    Progressive prosecutors like Boudin and Krasner have come under increasing scrutiny over their lax enforcement amid spiking crime rates. 

    A wave of cash from liberal billionaire George Soros frequently helps sweep the far-left candidates into their prosecutor posts. Krasner has received significant backing from the financier, who threw nearly $2 million behind his candidacy. He has not backed Boudin.

    The Real Justice PAC has also worked on several races that Soros had targeted.

    Real Justice PAC did not respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment on their Boudin efforts.

    Liberal dark money group with Biden admin ties capitalizes on SCOTUS leak to push court-packing agenda

    NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

    A liberal dark money group with ties to President Biden’s administration is using the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion to yet again push for the court’s expansion. 

    Demand Justice, the left’s most active judicial group, emailed supporters on Tuesday in the wake of the leaked Justice Samuel Alito draft opinion signaling Roe V. Wade would be overturned saying the “clearest solution” to protect “constitutional rights” to abortion is to expand the court.

    “The Republican party has seen the writing on the wall and knows that it can’t win on the issues,” Demand Justice writes in the email.

    FORMER CLINTON AIDE WONDERS IF ‘BRAVE CLERK’ LEAKED SUPREME COURT DRAFT TO PUSH JUSTICES TO RECONSIDER

    “From the need for access to abortion and reproductive healthcare, to the need for an adequate and immediate plan to address climate change, to the need for robust gun violence prevention, Republicans have categorically rejected issues that a commanding and consistent majority of Americans support,” the email states.

    The group called the Supreme Court the Republican’s “insurance policy” and pushed its supporters to contact and pressure members of Congress to kill the filibuster and add four seats to the Supreme Court. 

    Demand Justice is led by former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer Brian Fallon, and it also has direct ties to the Biden administration.

    White House press secretary Jen Psaki served as an outside adviser to the Demand Justice. Paige Herwig, Biden’s point person on judicial nominations, also worked for the group before joining the administration.

    Demand Justice started with efforts to discredit Republican judicial picks while backing Democratic nominees. It has since morphed to more advocacy-based endeavors, such as packing the Supreme and lower courts.

    But as Democratic politicians attacked right-wing dark money judicial groups, they benefitted from Demand Justice, which has been shrouded in secrecy.

    Demand Justice launched in 2018 as a project of the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a fiscal sponsor managed by the Washington, D.C.-based consulting firm Arabella Advisors, which oversees one of the left’s largest dark money networks. 

    The group, however, recently spun into its own legal entity. Its complete list of donors is unknown due to its relationship with the Sixteen Thirty Fund and its recent break-off into its own nonprofit.

    And while it hides its donors, a nonprofit in liberal billionaire George Soros’s network, the Open Society Policy Center, provided $2.6 million to Demand Justice around the time of its inception, its grants showed. 

    Demand Justice did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment. 

    Secretive Soros-funded group works behind the scenes with Biden admin on policy, documents show

    NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

    A secretive group backed by millions of dollars from liberal billionaire George Soros is working behind the scenes with President Biden’s administration to shape policy, documents reviewed by Fox News show.

    Governing for Impact (GFI), the veiled group, boasts in internal memos of implementing more than 20 of its regulatory agenda items as it works to reverse Trump-era deregulations by zeroing in on education, environmental, health care, housing and labor issues.

    “Open Society is proud to support Governing for Impact’s efforts to protect American workers, consumers, patients, students and the environment through policy reform,” Tom Perriello, executive director of Soros’ Open Society Foundations, told Fox News Digital.

    LIBERAL DARK MONEY JUGGERNAUT RAISES $1.6 BILLION TO FLOOD LEFT-WING GROUPS WITH CASH, TAX FORMS REVEAL

    “Their work gives voice to people often overlooked in a regulatory environment too often dominated by corporate interests,” he continued. “Our support for Governing for Impact’s work is publicly available on our website and we are transparent about our enthusiasm for their victories for American workers and families.” 

    GFI, however, works to remain secretive. It is invisible to internet search engines like Google (an unrelated “Govern for Impact” is the only group that appears in a search). No news reports or press releases appear on its existence outside of a mention of its related action fund in a previous Fox News article on the $1.6 billion Arabella Advisors-managed dark money network, to which it is attached. 

    But as the group attempted to conceal its operations, it sought talent on Harvard Law School’s website, which was discoverable. The posting, which no longer appears on the site, was for legal policy internships.

    The Harvard advert said the group was established to prepare the Biden administration for a “transformative governance” and that it had produced “more than 60 in-depth, shovel-ready regulatory recommendations” for dozens of federal agencies. 

    The listing also contained an email address ending in “@governingforimpact.org,” which is the group’s website that can only be accessed by those who know the URL.

    According to its website, Rachael Klarman, a Harvard Law School grad, steers the group. Her father, Michael Klarman, is a professor at Harvard Law and also has ties to progressive advocacy groups. He is an advisory board member of the left-wing dark money judicial group Take Back the Court. Last year, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-RI, invited him to testify before Congress on dark money’s “assault” on the judiciary system.

    “Governing for Impact is the perfect example of the Left’s fake outrage over ‘dark money’ in politics,” said the Capital Research Center’s Parker Thayer, who discovered the group and alerted Fox News.

    “As a ‘fiscally sponsored’ dark money project that writes and pushes regulations from the shadows, hidden from the public and funded by one billionaire foundation, GFI embodies everything the Left pretends to abhor.”

    “Governing for Impact conducts and shares research designed to help ensure that the federal government works more effectively for everyday working Americans, not just for members of industry groups that have long devoted vast resources to pursuing their own policy agendas,” Rachael Klarman told Fox News. 

    “We were founded in 2019 and have developed detailed regulatory recommendations for multiple federal agencies, which are published on our website,” she said. 

    BIDEN HHS SET TO ROLL BACK HEALTH CARE CONSCIENCE PROTECTIONS

    GFI’s site contains dozens of legal strategy memos for shaping executive orders and regulations in the educational, environmental, health care, housing and labor realms. 

    The memos generally do not identify their authors. Some show partnerships with outside groups such as The National Student League Defense Network, the Center for Law, Energy and the Environment at Berkeley Law School and the Economic Policy Institute. 

    “Many of the proposals on this site focus on how the new administration could unwind the previous administration’s harmful regulatory legacy, but GFI continues to take on new policy projects at all levels of government,” the site states. 

    The Education Department is set to announce a new regulation that will change Title IX rules on anti-transgender bias in schools, reversing Trump-era guidance. GFI appears to have worked on the issue, as its site contains a November 2020 legal memo on the matter. 

    BIDEN EXPECTED TO ROLL BACK TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TITLE IX CHANGES; FALSELY ACCUSED STUDENT’S FATHER SPEAKS OUT

    GFI also created an internal slide deck and uploaded it to Prezi’s presentation site. The slide, which is now inaccessible, says GFI has implemented more than 20 of its federal proposals as of 2021.

    Multiple federal officials appear in the internal slide as a part of its “listening tour,” including Sharon Block, Biden’s former top regulation review chief. Block served as administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), a division of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), from the start of Biden’s presidency until February of this year.

    “Under Sharon’s leadership, OIRA has played a crucial role in advancing the president’s agenda — from powering our historic economic recovery and combating the pandemic, to tackling the climate crisis and advancing equity,” Shalanda Young, director of the OMB, said before her departure.

    GFI showcases Block’s exhilaration over a GFI proposal in the slide. “I’m jumping out of my seat with excitement about this idea,” Block says in its “feedback” section. 

    Block, now a professor of practice at Harvard Law School, did not respond to a Fox News Digital inquiry into what proposals she had worked on with the group while acting as the top regulator in the Biden administration.

    In addition to Block, GFI highlights other top federal officials as part of its “listening tour.” Senior DOJ official Joel McElvain, who in 2018 left his post in protest of the Trump administration’s stance on the Affordable Care Act, but returned in 2021, appears in the slide. 

    It also shows Raj Nayak, assistant secretary at the Labor Department, Sabeel Rahman, senior counselor of OIRA, Narayan Subramanian, an Energy Department legal advisor, and Maggie Thomas, who Biden picked as chief of staff in the Office of Domestic Climate Policy. 

    GFI has prepared legal policy memos for at least ten federal departments and agencies, the slide shows. They also produced ten administrative law primers as of 2021. 

    GFI, meanwhile, is not a stand-alone nonprofit. Instead, the New Venture Fund, a nonprofit incubator managed by the D.C.-based consulting firm Arabella Advisors, fiscally sponsors it. This setup allows GFI to avoid filing tax forms with the IRS.

    The group’s attachment to the Arabella-Advisors dark money network, which raised $1.6 billion in anonymous donations in 2020, is not discoverable from public records. The New Venture Fund does not report GFI as a trade name in its D.C. business filings. 

    However, GFI’s links to the New Venture Fund are discoverable in George Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) grant database. A search of the database shows that Soros nonprofits sent $12.98 million to GFI and its related action fund in 2019 and 2020. 

    The Foundation to Promote Open Society awarded $5.53 million to GFI. Meanwhile, the Open Society Policy Center sent $7.45 million to GFI’s action fund. The Sixteen Thirty Fund, also managed by Arabella Advisors, fiscally sponsors the action fund.

    “As a fiscal sponsor, New Venture Fund provides operational and administrative support to help advocates and philanthropists quickly and efficiently launch new solutions to today’s toughest challenges,” the group told Fox News. “New Venture Fund explicitly does not engage in partisan activities or support any electoral campaigns, and we comply with all relevant disclosure laws and requirements.”

    Like the New Venture Fund, the Sixteen Thirty Fund has not reported it as a trade name in D.C. business records.

    “Sixteen Thirty Fund supports progressive causes and campaigns fighting for economic equity, affordable health care, climate solutions, racial justice, voter access, and other essential social-change goals,” the group told Fox News. “We follow all local, state, and federal law with respect to the disclosure of individual donors and grantees.”

    GFI sports additional links to Soros’ network. Perriello, OSF’s executive director, sits on GFI’s four-person board. MB Maxwell, a special advisor at OSF, appeared in GFI’s slide deck as part of its “listening tour.”

    Soros family quietly bankrolls committees supporting ‘defund the police’ candidates

    NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

    Liberal billionaire George Soros and his daughter, Andrea Soros Colombel, are bankrolling two entities that are supporting far-left politicians who back defunding the police, a Fox News Digital review of campaign finance records found.  

    The Soros money has flowed to a joint fundraising committee and a PAC attached to the efforts. The joint fundraising venture, called Lead the Way 2022, includes the Way to Lead PAC, Missouri Rep. Cori Bush’s campaign committee, and the campaigns of the 12 other progressive politicians attempting to enter Congress.

    George Soros has long supported overhauling the criminal justice system. The financier has poured tens of millions into district attorney races and has dished out large sums to groups focused on police reform efforts, including financing a hub used by progressive activists pushing to dismantle the police.

    Andrea Soros Colombel, meanwhile, has kept a lower profile than her father. Despite this, she is propping up the current joint fundraising committee benefiting Bush and the other far-left politicians for the 2022 elections.

    According to Federal Election Commission records, Andrea Soros Colombel has shelled out $100,000 to Lead the Way 2022, the joint fundraising effort that includes the Way to Lead PAC and the campaigns of the progressive candidates.

    George Soros has separately pushed cash into the Way to Lead PAC, which is attached to the joint fundraising effort. The financier moved $100,000 from his Democracy PAC over to the Way to Lead’s non-contribution account, which can be used on advertisements supporting or opposing candidates. 

    The funds from Andrea and George Soros put them among Lead the Way 2022’s and Way to Lead’s top respective backers for the 2022 elections.

    Those two entities, in turn, are supporting Bush and the progressive hopefuls as they look to expand the “Squads” ranks within Congress.

    CORI BUSH WON’T DROP ‘DEFUND THE POLICE’ SLOGAN EVEN THOUGH DEMS FEAR ITS POISON AT THE POLLS

    Lead the Way 2022 has transferred nearly $40,000 into Bush’s campaign coffers this cycle, the filings show. The Missouri Democrat has been an outspoken proponent of police defunding.

    It has also disbursed money to the others in the collaborative fundraising venture, many of whom also back defunding the police.

    Rana Abdelhamid, who is running in New York’s 12th congressional district,  has received $28,000 from Lead the Way 2022. Abdelhamid has called defunding law enforcement a feminist “priority” in now-deleted Instagram posts. 

    “Intimate Partner Violence is up to 4x higher in homes of cops than the general population,” she wrote in a graphic, citing the National Center for Women and Policing. Another graphic in the post encouraged readers to donate to “Defund the Police Efforts.”

    Kina Collins, a candidate in Illinois’ 7th district, was also provided $28,000 by Lead the Way 2022. Collins participated in a defund the police rally and has called for the abolition of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 

    Odessa Kelly, attempting to win a House seat in Tennessee’s 7th district, was given nearly $41,000 from Lead the Way 2022. Kelly signaled her support for defunding the police in an interview with Our Data Bodies.  

    “Some of the groups out here who one hundred percent push the protection of our communities and are leading the defund-the-police charge and all those things. I’m on board with you,” Odessa said during the interview.

    The three progressive candidates have likewise received a cash infusion from the Lead the Way PAC. The PAC pushed $2,900 checks to the Abdelhamid, Collins and Odessa campaigns, the filings show.

    One of those candidates, Aramis Ayala, who was the state attorney for Orange and Osceola counties in Florida, received $1.4 million in Soros funding for her race. 

    Ayala is now running for a House seat in Florida’s 10th congressional district. Her campaign was previously included in the Way to Lead 2022 joint fundraiser and received nearly $29,000 from the committee late last year. However, she no longer appears as part of the collaborative.

    Ayala also received a $2,900 contribution from the Lead the Way PAC.

    Soros donated $250,000 to fiscal sponsor of Louisville group who bailed out attempted murderer

    NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

    The legal fund responsible for bailing out a Black Lives Matter activist charged with attempted murder in Louisville has financial ties to liberal billionaire George Soros, who has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to Democratic causes.

    The Louisville Community Bail Fund, which is a “fiscally sponsored project” of the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ), bailed out Quintez Brown, 21, after he was arrested and charged for the attempted murder of Jewish Democratic mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg last Monday. Brown was released two days later after the fund posted the required $100,000 to bail him out, where he will be kept on house arrest.

    The Alliance for Global Justice, a liberal advocacy group that has received scrutiny for aiding Palestinian terrorism and supporting the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, received $250,000 in 2020 from the Foundation to Promote Open Society (FPOS), a grantmaking arm of Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF), according to the group’s 990 tax forms.

    The Foundation to Promote Open Society, which has received hundreds of millions of dollars from Soros, also donated over $3.5 million to groups at the Tides Center in 2020 and millions of dollars in previous years, according to its most recent 990 tax form released. The Tides Center, a California-based nonprofit incubator that previously housed the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, donated over $737,000 to the Louisville Community Bail Fund in 2020.

    Greenberg, whose sweater was grazed by one of the bullets fired by Brown, slammed the Louisville Community Bail Fund last Thursday in a statement, saying, “Our criminal justice system is clearly broken. It is nearly impossible to believe that someone can attempt murder on Monday and walk out of jail on Wednesday.”

    The Louisville Community Bail Fund was co-founded in 2017 by Chanelle Helm, a Black Lives Matter-Louisville activist who supports abolishing police and has repeatedly praised and defended convicted cop killer Assata Shakur. In recent days, she has used her Facebook page to defend the Louisville Community Bail Fund bailing out Quintez Brown by re-posting the official statement from Black Lives Matter-Louisville, which called Brown a “brilliant and bright leader” who just “needs direct mental health support.” In another Facebook post, Helm appears to be talking about Brown while railing against prisons, saying they “do not ‘rehabilitate’” and “If you are advocating for someone to go to jail or prison, it isn’t because you hope they can come out a change[d] person.”

    “Reminding yaw that the same people mad are the same people that harassed Quintez as he wrote about his experiences as a young Black youth. He’s 21,” Helm said in another Facebook post last week. “He’s been an organizer since he was 16. Taking on JCPS and LMPD. I’m really talking about the people calling him an assassin.” 

    One of the replies to that Facebook post said Brown is the “victim of a covert psychological operation often run on activists and aspiring public officials in our community” and tied it to the “Havana Syndrome,” prompting Helm to like it with a heart.

    QUINTEZ BROWN: BLM LOUISVILLE DEFENDS POSTING BAIL FOR ALLEGED WOULD-BE MAYORAL ASSASSIN

    The Daily Caller reported last year that the Tides Center donated nearly $6 million between 23 bail funds in 2020, including the Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF), which received backlash last summer after they bailed out an alleged domestic abuser who would later be charged with second-degree murder about three weeks later after he shot another driver dead during a road rage altercation. Vice President Kamala Harris promoted the bail fund during the summer of 2020, urging her Twitter followers to “chip in” money. 

    A FOX 9 report from 2020 showed that among the people helped by MFF – which received donations from multiple Joe Biden campaign staffers as it saw a $35 million fundraising windfall in the weeks after George Floyd’s death – were Darnika Floyd, who was charged with second-degree murder after allegedly stabbing a friend to death, and Christopher Boswell, who was facing charges of sexual assault and kidnapping. The group put up $100,000 on behalf of Floyd and $350,000 on behalf of Boswell.

    Soros donated $250,000 to fiscal sponsor of Louisville group who bailed out attempted murderer

    NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

    The legal fund responsible for bailing out a Black Lives Matter activist charged with attempted murder in Louisville has financial ties to liberal billionaire George Soros, who has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to Democratic causes.

    The Louisville Community Bail Fund, which is a “fiscally sponsored project” of the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ), bailed out Quintez Brown, 21, after he was arrested and charged for the attempted murder of Jewish Democratic mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg last Monday. Brown was released two days later after the fund posted the required $100,000 to bail him out, where he will be kept on house arrest.

    The Alliance for Global Justice, a liberal advocacy group that has received scrutiny for aiding Palestinian terrorism and supporting the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, received $250,000 in 2020 from the Foundation to Promote Open Society (FPOS), a grantmaking arm of Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF), according to the group’s 990 tax forms. The $250,000 contribution was designated to “catalyze Black communities into the global movement for climate justice.”
