As promised, this is addition three in a series about those companies George Soros and his OSF directly support financially. Just two today as they are kind of long. Hope you enjoy the read.
America
Votes: Soros also played a major role in
creating this group. America Votes was created prior to the 2004
election by Ellen Malcolm, the founder of EMILY's List; former Sierra Club
executive director Carl Pope; Harold Ickes; Steve Rosenthal; and Andy Stern,
the former president of Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Greg Speed serves as president of the
organization. According to the Center
for Public Integrity, "America Votes, a national liberal nonprofit group
with significant union funding, made the 2011 and 2012 Wisconsin recall
elections a top priority, providing a major cash infusion to a handful of
groups that helped organize the efforts."
America Votes donated $940,000 toward the ultimately unsuccessful recall
effort against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
America Votes does not disclose its donors. The group raised $12.7
million in 2013, and projects revenue of $8.5 million in 2014. According to the
Center for Public Integrity, "Between 40 percent and 50 percent of that sum
is projected to come from wealthy donors connected to the Democracy Alliance, a
secretive nonprofit whose funders include the likes of billionaire investor George
Soros and author, horticulturalist and philanthropist Amy Goldman."
America's Voice: The mission of America’s Voice (AV) and America’s
Voice Education Fund (AVEF) is to harness the power of American voices and
American values to enact policy change that guarantees full labor, civil and
political rights for immigrants and their families. We work in partnership with
progressive, faith-based, labor, civil rights, and grassroots groups, networks,
and leaders to policies and legislation that will stabilize the lives of 11
million Americans-in-waiting and put them on the road to full citizenship.
The immigration
reforms we support includes the following elements:
- A direct, fair,
and inclusive road to citizenship for immigrants in the U.S. without
papers.
- Channels for
future legal immigration that are flexible and functional.
- Robust protections
and guaranteed rights for all workers.
- Enforcement that
is targeted and fair, and respects immigrants’ rights.
- Full and equal
rights for all immigrants.
