The Washington Examiner reported Thursday that a major Democratic fundraising platform is funneling donations to an activist group with ties to a nonprofit with ties to Palestinian terrorists.
ActBlue, a Democratic fundraising platform, Portal The Examiner is urging donors to give to the Colorado Freedom Fund (CFF), a bail reform nonprofit financially sponsored and run by the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ). Revealed AFGJ supported fundraising efforts for the French non-profit Collectif Palestine Vaincra (CPV), a partner of the US-designated terrorist organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
In response, the Zacho Law Institute in January 2023 pressured the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to investigate AFGJ for allegedly supporting terrorist organizations. Examiner Zachor's attorney, Mark Greendorfer, reportedly told the Examiner that AFGJ's lack of due diligence was “astonishing.”
“The Alliance for Global Justice has a history of funding terrorism,” Greendorfer told the Examiner, adding that AFGJ has an obligation to its donors to “thoroughly vet users of its platform, especially those with a long record of supporting terrorism.” (Related article: Former law enforcement adviser denounces NGO involvement in illegal immigration in the US, slams Biden for “incompetent policies”)
