US non-profits ‘lock arms’ amid Trump’s menacing of George Soros: ‘We will not be intimidated’
Groups across climate, democracy and Palestine solidarity have been talking for months about how to band together
When Donald Trump named the leftwing billionaire George Soros as the next on his growing list of targets for retribution, he was also targeting the long list of progressive causes that Soros funds.
Sorosâs Open Society Foundations (OSF) network, now run by his son Alex, is a major funder of non-profits large and small, across sectors including democracy, voting rights, climate justice, racial justice, Palestinian rights and higher education. Public documentation of the groupâs grant-making shows thousands of worldwide recipients receiving anywhere from small amounts to multimillion-dollar grants, including major non-profit organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union.

The Anti-Soros Strategy at the Heart of Trump’s War on Progressive Nonprofits

On September 15th, five days after a gunman killed conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Vice President JD Vance guest-hosted The Charlie Kirk Show from his White House office. In his monologue, Vance baselessly blamed leftists for Kirk’s killing and vowed to investigate liberal nonprofits, specifically naming the Open Society Foundations (OSF)—the George Soros-funded philanthropy that gives money to promote democracy and human rights—as one of the White House’s targets. “They are literally subsidized by you and me, the American taxpayer,” Vance said. “And how do they reward us? By setting fire to the house built by the American family.” Vance’s remarks were part of a campaign initiated by right-wing media outlets, conservative think tanks, and Republican politicians to blame progressive funders for Kirk’s assassination. President Donald Trump himself joined in, telling NBC News that Soros “should be put in jail.”
