WEALTHY LEFTISTS HELP UNIONS BANKROLL ‘PROGRESSIVE’ GROUPS

[Geee]

Human Events:

Committee on States, a project of the secretive Democracy Alliance, is helping labor unions and leftist millionaires coordinate advocacy for big government in 20 states.

 

Working with union coalition AFL-CIO and its public-sector affiliate American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees as “institutional partners,” COS has steered over $45 million into state-based “progressive” organizations since 2013,according to internal documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

“This is an electrifying figure that amplifies the national investments of Democracy Alliance partners in infrastructure strategies like America Votes, Progress Now, State Voices, 501c(3) and 501c(4) funding streams, and others,” an Oct. 21 COS memo asserted.

Democracy Alliance, America Votes, ProgressNow and State Voices benefit greatly from big government — all four organizations are funded by public-sector unions whose income is taken from the paychecks of teachers and other public employees.

EPA BOSS, DEM MONEY MAN MEET BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy and a deep-pocketed donor to Democrat candidates will convene with climate activists behind closed doors Wednesday at the Mayflower Hotel – keeping uninvited press at bay.

 

McCarthy will deliver a keynote address to the Center for American Progress (CAP), one of the country’s largest and most liberal activist organizations.

Tom Steyer – a billionaire whom the New York Times dubs “the most influential environmentalist in American politics” – will participate in a panel discussion on “climate resilience.”

The panel also features Rockefeller Foundation President Judith Rodin and “CAP Distinguished Senior Fellow” Carol Browner. Browner headed the EPA under Bill Clinton and formerly served as director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy for President Obama.

CAP spokeswoman Katie Murphy told Watchdog on Tuesday that the D.C. event was “at capacity” and that no more reporters could be accommodated. She suggested that interested parties view the proceedings at americanprogress.org.
