Left-Wing Group Funded By Soros Provides Bail For Activists

George Soros, Founder and Chairman of the Open Society Foundations, looks before the Joseph A. Schumpeter award ceremony in Vienna, Austria, June 21, 2019. Soros' Open Society Foundations annou

An online fundraiser has revealed that a left-wing dark money group funded by billionaire George Soros will be offering bail and legal assistance to anti-Israel activists who were arrested after blocking major roads and highways across the United States. The protests, organized by A15 Action, were in response to the U.S.'s support for Israel during its conflict with Hamas terrorists.

A15 Action, a newly formed group, coordinated a nationwide economic blockade on April 15 in solidarity with Palestine. The group's website directs users to a bail and legal defense fund hosted by ActBlue, a prominent fundraising platform for Democratic campaigns and groups.

The funds raised will support Community Justice Exchange, a project of the Soros-funded Tides Center. The Community Justice Exchange aims to provide financial assistance for bail, court fees, and fines to community-based organizations challenging the current criminal legal and immigration detention systems.

It was disclosed that the Open Society Policy Center, backed by Soros, has donated millions to groups expressing support for Hamas or justifying attacks on Israel. The protests led to traffic disruptions in cities like San Francisco, New York City, Chicago, and Philadelphia.

In California, demonstrators shut down traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge, resulting in 38 arrests. In New York City, protesters gathered outside the Stock Exchange chanting pro-Palestine slogans. Chicago O'Hare International Airport faced delays due to a protest that led to several arrests.

Philadelphia's City Hall saw a significant police presence as protesters blocked intersections. In Texas, demonstrators expressed opposition to Israeli military actions outside the Valero headquarters in San Antonio. The protests extended to Washington's Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, causing traffic disruptions.
