Several left-leaning, dark money organizations, including George Soros’s, contributed more than $20 million to groups funding protests against President Trump’s crime crackdown in Washington, DC.
Free DC, a “fiscally sponsored special project” of progressive nonprofits Community Change and Community Change Action, brought 150 demonstrators near the White House on Monday to protest Trump’s plan to deploy National Guard troops in the district and federalize the city’s police department.
Civil War Mode: “Don’t comply in advance” and “Occupy space” are among Free DC’s “guiding principles,” and the group is encouraging supporters to “go outside at 8:00 PM and bang pots and pans, sing, chant, or make noise for five minutes” every night “of this occupation.”
Free DC has been busy since Monday’s anti-Trump protest, planning all kinds of events like a “Cop Watch Training” session. It looks like more protests are in the cards, all while Trump’s trying to make DC the “safest, cleanest, and most beautiful city in the world” by beefing up law enforcement and cleaning up homeless encampments in public places, writes New York Post.
Civil War Mode: “Community Change and Community Change Action, the groups bankrolling Free DC’s activism campaign, have been the beneficiaries of millions of dollars in donations from hedge-fund tycoon George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and Tides Foundation, and the dark-money Arabella Advisors network, according to an analysis shared with The Post,” writes New York Post.
“It is ironic that a protest to ostensibly ‘Free DC’ was hosted by Community Change, a group funded by massive amounts of outside dark money to push a pro-crime agenda,” Caitlin Sutherland, the executive director of Americans for Public Trust, said in a statement.

Civil War Mode: “DC is facing shootings, carjackings, and assaults, and yet progressive groups like The Pritzker Foundation, George Soros, and the Arabella Network all spend millions of dollars to manufacture protests that weaken our communities,” Sutherland added.
In 2023 alone, Community Change and Community Change Action received $4 million from Soros’ Open Society Foundations, $680,000 from the Arabella network, and $145,000 from the Tides Foundation. This information was found in publicly available financial disclosures.
Arabella Advisors, a consulting firm based in Washington, DC, manages several funds that finance left-wing groups. These include the Sixteen Thirty Fund, Windward Fund, and New Venture Fund, which have all given money to Community Change and Community Change Action since 2020.
Also, Soros’s Open Society Foundations and Tides Foundation and Tides Advocacy (which is part of the billionaires’ Tides Network) are far-left grant-making organizations.
Between 2020 and 2023, Community Change and Community Change Action got $12.6 million from the Open Society Foundation, $5.6 million from the Arabella network, and $1.9 million from the Tides network. These funds came in the form of several grants labeled for things like “civil rights, social action, advocacy” and “social welfare activities.”
On top of that, Community Change got a cool $1 million from Future Forward USA Action, a Democratic Party-affiliated super PAC linked to Future Forward PAC. This super PAC was one of the big political groups that supported former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
