This\u2064 comes after \u200ca Washington Examiner investigation exposed the charity&#8217;s connections to \u2063Palestinian terror groups.<\/p>\n<p>The charities in question, New Venture \u2064Fund and Windward Fund, both managed by the liberal consultancy Arabella Advisors, had previously allocated $473,000 between 2020 and 2021 to the \u200bAlliance for Global Justice. However, they have now announced that they will no longer be providing grants to this Arizona nonprofit organization. This decision \u200dfollows the withdrawal of support from four payment \u2063processors\u2063 this \u2063year due to the group&#8217;s links to \u200cthe Popular Front for \u200cthe Liberation of Palestine terror group.<\/p>\n<h3>Denouncing Terrorism and Violence<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;We condemn terrorism and violence against civilians \u2062in all forms and do not support any projects or provide any grants \u200bto organizations that fund terrorism,&#8221; stated New Venture Fund President Lee Bodner. &#8220;New \u200bVenture Fund\u2062 is discontinuing grants to \u2063any projects hosted by \u2062Alliance for \u2064Global Justice.&#8221; Windward\u200b Fund President Lynn McNair echoed this sentiment, affirming\u2064 that the charity &#8220;is no longer providing grants to organizations that are sponsored by Alliance for Global Justice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>McNair further emphasized, &#8220;Our\u200d organization\u2064 does not support terrorism in any form and\u200b strongly denounce any violence against\u200d civilians.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This revelation is \u2064expected to have a \u200bsignificant impact on the financial stability of the Alliance for Global Justice. In 2023, the organization lost the ability \u2063to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/left-wing-arabella-advisors-dark-money-groups-cut-ties-with-palestinian-terror-tied-charity\/\" title=\"Left-wing Arabella Advisors ends association with Palestinian charity linked to terrorism.\">accept credit card donations<\/a> after PayPal, Stripe, Salsa Labs, and Deluxe terminated their services. Through fiscal sponsorship, the Alliance for Global Justice provides various services for left-wing projects, including\u200d the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner\u200c Solidarity Network, which\u200c is designated as a terror group by\u2062 Israel and\u200d has shared staff members with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>Samidoun \u2064has been actively organizing pro-Palestinian\u200d rallies worldwide following Hamas&#8217; recent deadly terror attack against Israel. For example, the group posted\u200d images online of activists distributing candy to Berlin protesters in celebration of Hamas, prompting the \u200bGerman government to ban Samidoun. Since\u2064 October 7, over 1,400 Israelis \u2063have lost their lives in connection to the ongoing conflict.<\/p>\n<p>PayPal has previously closed\u200d accounts for both Samidoun and its French coalition member, Collectif \u200bPalestine Vaincra, due to\u200b their\u2064 ties to terrorism. In January, \u2062the Alliance for Global\u200d Justice was accused in an IRS complaint of \u200cassisting Collectif Palestine Vaincra in fundraising, which violates federal law. Additionally, the Arizona group sponsors \u2063the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic \u200band Cultural Boycott of Israel, a\u2062 pro-Palestinian\u2062 group that was recently removed \u2064from the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue.<\/p>\n<p>Alliance for Global Justice, which claims to sponsor 130 projects, has now removed its webpage showcasing these projects, leading to uncertainty about the current number. The organization also supports the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement against \u2063Israel and sponsors the Lajee \u200dCenter, whose director has shared videos on social media depicting Palestinian children engaged in violent clashes with Israel&#8217;s military.<\/p>\n<p>Tax attorneys have argued that any organizations collaborating with the Alliance for Global Justice may be providing material support to terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200d November 2022, the New Venture \u2064Fund clarified\u200b that its $38,000 grant to the Alliance for Global Justice in 2021 was \u2063specifically for the &#8220;Philly Thrive&#8221; project, which focuses on climate\u2064 issues and aims to clean\u200c up and repurpose land in Philadelphia that previously housed an oil refinery.\u2064 The Windward Fund also stated that its grants to the \u200bcharity were intended to support environmental cleanup in New \u2062York City.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth\u200c noting that other grantmakers, including Arnold Ventures, have also severed ties with the Alliance for Global Justice. Arnold Ventures is an LLC funded\u2062 by former Enron executive and retired hedge fund manager \u2064John Arnold and his wife, Laura Arnold, a former lawyer for Cobalt International Energy.<\/p>\n<p>Alliance for\u200b Global Justice did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u200cHow can greater scrutiny be applied to the allocation of dark money funds to prevent\u200b support for organizations with ties to terrorism and violence?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Palestinian terror attacks, and the situation \u200bremains volatile in the region.<\/p>\n<h3>The Dark Money Network<\/h3>\n<p>The decision by New Venture Fund and Windward Fund to sever ties with the Alliance for Global Justice sheds light on\u2063 the shadowy network of dark money\u200c that operates within the Democratic Party. Arabella Advisors, \u200bthe liberal consultancy responsible for managing these funds, has been instrumental in funneling hundreds\u200b of millions of dollars towards left-wing initiatives and causes. And yet, it\u2064 appears that proper \u2063due diligence has not been exercised in vetting the recipients of these funds.<\/p>\n<p>The connections between the Alliance for \u2064Global Justice and Palestinian\u2064 terror groups raise\u200b serious questions about the transparency and accountability of the entire dark money \u200dnetwork. How \u2064could\u2062 such \u2063links\u200b have\u200c gone unnoticed for so long? \u2064It is crucial that greater\u2063 scrutiny is \u2063applied\u2062 to the allocation\u200c of these funds to prevent \u2063the support of \u2063organizations with ties\u200d to terrorism \u2064and violence.<\/p>\n<h3>A Stain on Progressive Values<\/h3>\n<p>This\u200b investigation has not \u200conly exposed the failure of\u200c oversight within the dark money network but also\u2063 casts a shadow on the progressive movement \u200bas \u200ca whole. The\u200d Alliance for Global Justice has positioned itself as a &#8220;progressive&#8221; charity, advocating for social justice and human rights. However, its ties to terror groups severely undermine the \u2063credibility and \u200dlegitimacy of its work.<\/p>\n<p>Progressive values should \u2063be rooted\u200b in peace, equality,\u2064 and justice. Supporting organizations that have affiliations with terrorism is \u200dantithetical to these principles. The decision by New \u200dVenture Fund and Windward \u200bFund to distance themselves from the \u2062Alliance for Global Justice is a step in the right \u200ddirection, but more must be done \u2063to ensure that dark money is not funneled towards causes that contradict the values it claims to uphold.<\/p>\n<h3>The Path Forward<\/h3>\n<p>This revelation should\u200b serve as a wake-up call for both the dark money network and the progressive movement. It is imperative \u2064that greater transparency, accountability, and due\u2062 diligence are implemented in the\u2063 allocation of funds. \u2062Comprehensive \u200cvetting processes should be established to \u2063ensure that\u2064 organizations with \u2064links to\u200c terrorism are not supported.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, there needs to be a broader discussion within the\u200b progressive movement \u200babout the definition of progressiveness and how it aligns\u200c with the values of peace, non-violence, and humanitarianism. This incident should prompt soul-searching \u200band a \u2063reevaluation of the \u200dorganizations and causes that receive financial support.<\/p>\n<p>The fight for \u2064social justice and\u200d equality must be conducted with integrity and in adherence to the principles of non-violence. The dark money network\u200b and\u2062 its beneficiaries have a responsibility to ensure that \u2064their funds\u2064 are being used for the betterment of society, not to perpetuate violence and terror.<\/p>\n<h3>A Call for Accountability<\/h3>\n<p>It is \u2063imperative\u200c that those\u2063 responsible for \u2062overseeing the allocation of dark money take\u200c this issue \u2062seriously. The connection between the\u200b Alliance for Global\u2063 Justice and Palestinian terror \u200dgroups cannot be brushed aside or ignored. A thorough investigation should be \u2063conducted to understand \u2062how such links were established and how\u2062 they were allowed to persist for so long.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, political leaders, activists, and \u200corganizations within the progressive movement must hold themselves accountable. \u200cThis means conducting internal reviews, reevaluating partnerships and affiliations, and \u200ctaking decisive action to ensure\u2062 that funds are not being directed towards organizations with connections to terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-scrap-potential-house-speaker-debate-report\/\" title=\"Republicans cancel potential House Speaker debate, according to report.\">democratic process relies<\/a> on trust, transparency, and accountability. This incident puts all three of these facets into \u200cquestion. It\u200b is time for the dark money network and the \u200cprogressive movement to step up and \u2062demonstrate \u2063their commitment \u200dto these core principles. Only through such\u200c actions \u2063can trust be restored and progress truly achieved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two US dark money groups, affiliated with the Democratic party, are cutting ties with an Arizona-based &#8220;progressive&#8221; charity.
