Clinton’s nonprofit gave $300k to stop oil funders.
Hillary Clinton’s Nonprofit Donates to Eco-Activists Just Stop Oil
Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s organisation has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Climate Emergency Fund, which finances the eco-activists Just Stop Oil.
According to tax documents (pdf), Onward Together has donated $300,000 to the Los Angeles-based Climate Emergency Fund.
Onward Together was created in the wake of Clinton’s loss to former President Donald Trump in the 2016 election, with fellow Democrat presidential hopeful Howard Dean, according to InfluenceWatch.
Just Stop Oil, the eco-activist group, is protesting the government awarding new oil contracts to businesses and is behind a wave of illegal actions, such as blocking access to petrol stations and parts of the United Kingdom’s busiest motorway, breaching High Court injunctions, and more.
Climate Emergency Fund thanked Clinton’s nonprofit, among other high-level donors, for going “above and beyond” in its 2022 annual report (pdf). The report does not specify how Onward Together’s funds are spent.

Dark Money
American author and journalist Robert Bryce has been reporting on energy and power for more than three decades. He told The Epoch Times by email that “what is clear” is that the Climate Emergency Fund and “similar radical groups are part of the anti-industry industry, a sector of the global economy that is taking in billions of dollars per year to fund anti-hydrocarbon, anti-nuclear activism.”
Bryce has reported that “dark money” nongovernmental organizations are taking in hundreds of millions of dollars per year generally trying to “mandate increased use of weather-dependent renewables, hinder (or stop) hydrocarbon production, prevent the construction of new hydrocarbon infrastructure, mandate building electrification, and of course, ban the use of natural gas in homes and businesses.”
“This dark money applies to Climate Emergency Fund, which lists two foundations among its funders. Those funders are the Onward Together Foundation, which doesn’t disclose its donors, and Earthsense Foundation,” he added.
