However, recent events have raised concerns about the group&#8217;s financial practices and \u2064its targeting of local \u2062Jewish leaders.<\/p>\n<p>This self-proclaimed \u2062&#8221;abolitionist,\u2064 anti-capitalist,\u200b and\u2062 anti-imperialist collective&#8221; managed to \u2062raise over $2.5 million\u2063 through a viral GoFundMe campaign \u200bin the summer of 2020. Despite this\u200b substantial sum, the group failed to\u200b register \u200bas \u2063a\u200b nonprofit or\u2063 provide any financial transparency, leading the California Department of Justice to restrict\u2064 its fundraising activities.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these restrictions, the \u200cPeople&#8217;s City Council participated in a highly\u2064 controversial attack on AIPAC president Michael Tuchin&#8217;s home during\u2064 Thanksgiving. The\u200d attack involved far-left activists throwing smoke grenades, displaying signs with offensive messages, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/should-never-have-been-in-this-position-biden-on-signing-stopgap-funding-bill\/\" title=\"'Biden regrets signing stopgap funding bill, says it was a mistake.'\">causing significant \u2064disruption<\/a>. The group defended their actions as a &#8220;protest&#8221; against Israeli &#8220;violence.&#8221;\u200d The incident is currently being\u200c investigated as a hate crime by the Los Angeles\u2063 police.<\/p>\n<p>This \u200dshift from \u2064supporting\u200b the Black Lives Matter movement \u200dto engaging in anti-Semitic \u2063actions \u200caligns the People&#8217;s City Council with other BLM chapters across the country that have shown support for\u200d Hamas\u200d and its \u200cattacks on Israel. The attention garnered by the Tuchin attack\u200b has also brought the group&#8217;s financial reporting failures into the \u2062spotlight. Experts suggest that the significant amount\u2063 of money controlled by\u2064 the group, combined with its lack of nonprofit status, may warrant further investigation for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/top-house-republican-presses-yellen-to-share-records-of-hunter-bidens-foreign-business-dealings\/\" title=\"Top House Republican Presses Yellen to Share Records of Hunter Biden\u2019s Foreign Business Dealings\">potential tax violations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Concerns\u200b about the People&#8217;s City Council&#8217;s financial situation have been raised\u200d by experts, with allegations of noncompliance with charity laws and the possibility\u2062 of hefty fines. However, the \u2062founders of the group, Ricci Sergienko and Albert Corado, as well as the California\u200c Justice Department, have not responded\u200b to requests for\u2062 comment.<\/p>\n<p>The People&#8217;s City Council\u200b gained prominence in 2020 following the death of George \u2062Floyd and managed to raise millions \u200bthrough its GoFundMe \u2064campaign. However,\u2062 it remains\u2062 unclear how\u200c the funds were used, as neither Black Lives Matter Los Angeles nor the National Lawyers \u200dGuild of Los Angeles, who were supposed to receive portions of the money, have disclosed their donors or provided any information on the funds received.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the\u200b initial success \u200bof their fundraising efforts, the People&#8217;s City Council&#8217;s GoFundMe campaigns are now disabled, and the group&#8217;s \u200bgeneral fund has \u200cnot received any donations in the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to\u200c the attack on \u200cthe \u200cAIPAC president&#8217;s home, the\u2062 People&#8217;s \u200dCity \u2064Council also \u2062staged protests at a major shopping center on Black Friday, boasting about their disruption.\u200c The\u2063 group has made \u2063controversial\u200d statements likening their struggle to that \u200bof the Palestinians \u2062and accusing\u200b the Los\u200d Angeles police of using Israeli software to monitor their \u200bactivities. They have even compared Israel&#8217;s military to the Ku Klux Klan.<\/p>\n<p>The People&#8217;s City Council of Los Angeles now finds itself under scrutiny not only for its actions but also for its financial\u2063 practices.
