The leaders of many progressive organizations that supported the run of Vice president Kamala Harris asked for donations to block the actions of Donald Trump's squad by making many lawsuits. However, donors who have already shown generosity in the $1 billion election run are reluctant to respond to requests.
Organisations specified as the American civilian Liberties Union (ACLU), the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), the National Immigration Law Centre (NILC) and the Centre for Biological Diversity announced that they wanted to bring lawsuits against the future actions of the Trump administration, starting on the first day of its office. akin tactics were adopted during the President-elect's first term.
"The fresh Tork Times" states that these organisations deficiency funds to finance actions under an ambitious plan to set up "resistance". Affluent donors resent the Chiefs of Elections Harris and the Democratic Party, who lost the conflict to keep power, although they were promised they would surely win. Donors are shocked by the size of the disaster, are angry, and more and more people are to complain of depression.
The above mentioned organizations, specified as the CCR, fought the Trump ban on immigration from any countries with a Muslim majority. They accused White home staff of supporting “white nationalism”.
Executive manager of the Kieran Suckling Biodiversity Center wants to hire 12 fresh lawyers to prepare lawsuits against Trump's policy. The organization had previously filed 266 lawsuits against the first administration, including a suit to block the construction of a border wall, referring to environmental regulations.
At the same time, donations proceed to rise Harris' staff to cover a debt of at least $20 million.
Kica Matos, NILC chief in a letter to NYT, wrote that: “We have not yet observed the level of donations as in 2016.” However, in 2017, after Trump took office, the number of donations was expected to increase.
The ACLU will focus primarily on combating possible regulations on mass deportation, citing constitutional considerations. He wants to work with congressmen who will aid strip the administration of funds and lobby for the paralysis of customs and border guards.
NILC, in turn, is looking for volunteers who will registry raids of migration services throughout the United States to intervene in the event of a violation of the law.
As usual, organizations number on large grants from the Open Society Foundations, presently headed by George Soros' son, Alexander. He is to be “more political” than his father and is active in promoting the ideology of “wokeism”.
High donations are besides made by the Democracy Alliance, an influential network of left-wing donors to meet next week to discuss the issue of opposition to the Trump administration. In 2017, the alliance published a "resistance map", opposing the president's program.
The Alliance for Democracy was formed in 2005 on the initiative of politician strategist Rob Stein and erstwhile Trade Secretary for Clinton, Ron Brown, combining individual political philanthropists, trade unions and foundations aimed at "supporting catalytic initiatives, winning elections, accelerating the implementation of progressive political reforms and building power in our states". The network adds that “Together we are working not only to save our democracy, but besides to transform it into a fair, multi-racial, feminist democracy that we deserve. The fresh 10-year strategical imagination of the DA is committed to racial, gender, economical and climate justice and confirms the key function of Democracy Alliance as organizer, resource aggregator and community builder."
Following the 2016 election, a gathering of donors, partners and supporters of progressive policies was held on 13 and 16 November 2016 to discuss the results of the elections and make a fresh strategy to counter Trump's political initiatives by organising at local and state level. It was then decided to apply a "cross-cutting" approach to resistance. It was pointed out that "investments in states and communities marginalized are now more crucial than always to hold the Conservatives accountable, keep a progressive community united and reunite the working class."
At the National Da Donor Summit in March 2017, president ‘DA’ Gara LaMarche made concrete proposals to argue the political agenda Trumpa, among others, through major investments in states specified as Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, California, Pennsylvania, Virginia, fresh Mexico and North Carolina, followed by Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Wisconsin. It was essential to invest in black and immigrant communities, in prairie and western states, where "you can awaken proud, progressive populist traditions."
In July 2017, a "resistance map" was approved, covering old and fresh organisations and leaders to whom funds had to be transferred to argue Trump's policy, as well as a list of actions to be implemented.
