New York City has long been fertile ground for political protest, of course, so these events were not unusual-though the city's protest culture has gone into overdrive since Trump's election, with rallies, marches, and demonstrations becoming a frequent backdrop around Manhattan.
An even more significant recipient of taxpayer largesse is Make the Road New York, which, according to its website, "Builds the power of Latino and working class communities to achieve dignity and justice through organizing, policy innovation, transformative education, and survival services." Founded by attorneys Andrew Friedman and Oona Chatterjee in 1997, Make the Road characterizes itself as a member-driven organization with more than 15,000 New York City members, almost exclusively Latino immigrants.
Make the Road's real purpose, to paraphrase its mission statement, is to "Build power through organizing." Leaders of New York's far-left Working Families Party run the group, which urges its clients to participate in political indoctrination as an implicit condition of receiving aid and encourages them to join as members.
New York Communities for Change, the successor organization to the disgraced Acorn, also receives money from Make the Road. Friedman and Chatterjee spun off a larger national organization, the Center for Popular Democracy, which receives millions of dollars in donations from the Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, organized labor, and the Rockefeller Foundation-and which operates from the same street address as Make the Road Action, with which it shares overlapping leadership.
NYIC, which receives approximately $1 million annually from the city to fulfill its stated purpose "To unite immigrants, members and allies so that all New Yorkers can thrive," cosponsored the 2019 New York City Women's March and makes official statements at pro-abortion rallies.
The first protester was Linda Sarsour, nationally prominent as a cohead of the Women's March but also a longtime fixture in New York City protest politics as the executive director of the Arab American Association of New York.
New York's multibillion-dollar human-services complex generally provides the aid that it promises, but it has also become the operating environment for radicals, posing as social workers, who siphon off public money to promote their political agenda.
