During the 2020
election, the DNC announced a partnership with the Action Network, a
leftist nonprofit, aimed at raising money to “elect Democrats up and
down the ballot”.
Now the Action Network is boasting that “in the
first 24 hours after President Biden endorsed Vice President Harris,
organizations raised over $70 million using Action Network.”
“Action Network has been foundational to the DNC’s fundraising and organizing success over the years,” a DNC official gushed.
Action Network was also crucial to the fundraising of Antifa.
Going
by the International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund on the Action Network,
the mostly peaceful but also mostly violent street riot group was
fundraising with a banner carrying the black and red Antifa logo and a
sign demanding “Free All Antifa Prisoners”.
The Anti-Fascist
Defence Fund was using the DNC partner group to raise money for, among
other matters, “replacing damaged/stolen property” and “antifa prisoner
support”. The Antifa fund claimed to have raised $250,000 and disbursed
it to “more than 760 antifascists in 26 different countries.” Based on
its chart, which was posted on Action Network, around $40,000 had been
raised in 2023-2024.
Where is that money going?
One of the beneficiaries of the Antifa fund on Action Network was Daniel Baker,
a Florida anarchist who was locked up after posting a “Call to Arms”
urging a confrontation with conservatives in which Antifa would
“encircle” the State Capitol and “drive them out with every caliber
available.”
Despite the recent Trump assassination attempt, the Action Network has taken no action.
Since Freedom Center Investigates reported last year
on the dual use of Action Network by the DNC and Antifa, Democrats have
not stopped using it for fundraising purposes and Action Network has
taken no steps to remove extremist and terrorist groups from its
platform.
And now the Kamala Harris campaign has collected $70
million and maintains its own page on a platform used by Antifa and
domestic and international terrorist organizations.
In addition to Antifa, the Action Network is being utilized by Samidoun,
designated by Israel as a front group for the PFLP, which fundraises
and works on behalf of terrorists. Action Network also allows a variety
of pro-PFLP propaganda on the site. That includes the Connecticut
Democratic Socialists of America fundraising for their Palestinian
Liberation Political Education Series which features materials from the
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a murderous
terrorist organization responsible for killing Jews, Americans and
Israelis, which the DSA describes as “the most important Palestinian
socialist resistance organization.”
Also advertised on Action
Network was an event by the East Bay DSA titled “Putting Hamas In
Context” offering a “discussion on primary texts related to October 7th
and Hamas, for a discussion on the history of Palestinian resistance of
the zionist occupation.”
Action Network hosted a petition
complaining about the “racist double standard” against Hamas. “The
unfolding horror in Ukraine has exposed the racist double standard
embedded in Western political and media discourse. Ukrainians who take
up arms against Russian oppression are lionized; Palestinians who take
up arms against Israeli oppression are vilified.”
These are only a
few of the fundraisers, petitions and documents in support of terrorism
on Action Network. The official partner site of the DNC and a host of
the Harris-Walz campaign has no apparent objection to Antifa, Islamic
terrorist groups who murder Jews, or any terror groups.
Just Stop
Oil, an eco terrorist network which has been responsible for
vandalizing classical art in museums around the world, Stonehenge and
the United States Constitution, is active on
the Action Network. As are the Atlanta Forest Defenders and associated
groups who were labeled as Domestic Violent Extremists for the
anti-police riots which resulted in injuries and one death.
Indeed it’s hard to find a single extremist wing of the Left that isn’t represented on the DNC partner site. Even Prostasia which provides support
for “Minor Attracted Person” or more simply, pedophiles, which was
raising money for “research” into “the use of fictional or fantasy
sexual outlets (e.g., sex dolls, cartoons, fictional stories) among
people who have sexual attractions to children” to “promote greater
wellbeing among individuals attracted to children”, is active there.
A
presidential candidate making use of a fundraising and promotional
platform shared with terrorists and pedophiles is troubling, but Action
Network’s DNC partnership makes it more than a platform. It’s become, as
the DNC put it, “foundational” to the party’s fundraising.
In
the 2024 election cycle, the now-defunct Biden for President has already
paid out over $1 million to Action Network. The Kamala campaign will
presumably be doing likewise.
Large amounts of money are being
moved to and around a platform that has become associated with extremist
groups. And that platform has not only partnered with the DNC but with
the IRS. The Action Network operates both a 501(c)(4) political
nonprofit and the Action Network Fund, a 501(c)(3) charity which works
to aid the unions that are a vital part of the Democrat base. The Action
Network Fund claims that its goal is “to build progressive power.”
The
IRS could put a stop to this, but it’s choosing not to, while
protecting a fundraising platform used by the Harris-Walz campaign and
the DNC. And in the process it’s also protecting a platform used by
Antifa, domestic and foreign terrorists, art vandals and even
pedophiles.
