♦ Run for Something has received $50 million in Soros money to push their radical agenda: “Ensuring that all communities have the tools they need to maximize both individual and collective engagement in our society creates a more vibrant American democracy for everyone. This historic investment will help ensure that the voices of women and our young people are heard, valued, and included in this critical work,” said Leah Daughtry, a co-convenor of Power Rising, an organization that seeks to advance racial, gender, and social justice on a nonpartisan basis. “Run for Something Action Fund is so grateful to Open Society Policy Center for its sustained investment in our nonpartisan work recruiting and supporting thousands of young diverse leaders running for state and local office,” said Amanda Litman, coexecutive director of Run for Something. “The millennial and Gen Z leaders we recruit, who are a majority women and a majority people of color, are doing the hard work of engaging their communities and rebuilding our democracy from the ground up. Their leadership has never been more important as they fight to protect and

expand abortion access, stop book bans, and engage young voters in authentic ways. We'll have their back; we're so glad OSPC has ours.” “The Open Society Foundations’ generous commitment of $50 million ignites an unprecedented pathway for youth and women's activism. This is more than funding; it’s a resounding vote of confidence in our young and women changemakers’ untapped potential and visionary power,” said Dakota Hall, the executive director of the Alliance for Youth Action. “As we embrace this transformative moment, we're not just part of history but actively forging it. This investment is a call to action, ushering in an era where silenced voices take the lead, and our collective organizing shapes a future with limitless possibilities.” https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/newsroom/open-society-foundations-to-invest-50-millionto-support-civic-engagement-of-women-and-youth
