George Soros’ Network Bankrolling ‘No Kings’ Protests: Report

George Soros’ network of organizations is helping bankroll the “No Kings” protests that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and tens of thousands of demonstrators plan to join on Saturday, according to new disclosures and archived grant data.

Soros, a billionaire investor and one of the Democratic Party’s most prolific donors, is the founder of the Open Society Foundations, which oversees the Open Society Action Fund. In 2023, that fund issued a two-year grant of $3 million to the progressive group Indivisible, according to public filings. The stated purpose was to support the organization’s “social welfare activities,” Fox News reported.

Indivisible is currently serving as the group managing participant data and communications for the “No Kings” protests taking place in Washington, D.C., and in cities nationwide.

Soros’ foundations say they have distributed more than $32 billion globally to advance what they describe as “open and democratic societies.” His son, Alex Soros, serves as chairman of the board.

Indivisible’s website lists Ezra Levin as executive co-director, alongside his wife, Leah Greenberg. Greenberg previously served as policy director for former Virginia gubernatorial candidate Tom Perriello, who later became executive director of the Open Society Foundations from 2018 through 2023 — deepening organizational ties between the two entities.

In 2017, Indivisible also received a $350,000 grant from Tides Advocacy, an arm of the left-leaning Tides Network. The Tides Foundation, another affiliate, has previously faced criticism for funding groups accused of supporting anti-Israel demonstrations and campus unrest.

While the 2024 grant report has not yet been released by the IRS or Open Society Foundations, records show Soros’ network has provided Indivisible with more than $7.6 million since its formation in 2017.

A spokesperson for the Open Society Foundations told Fox News Digital that its grants are lawful and that the organization does not dictate or manage how recipients conduct their operations.

“We support a wide range of independent organizations that work to deepen civic engagement through peaceful democratic participation, a hallmark of any vibrant society and a right protected by the Constitution,” the spokesperson said. “Our grantees make their own decisions about their work, consistent with the law and the terms of their grant agreements.”

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was the first to draw attention to the Soros ties in an interview Thursday with Fox News host Sean Hannity, warning that the “No Kings” rallies could become violent.

“There’s considerable evidence that George Soros and his network are behind funding these rallies, which may well be riots all across the country,” Cruz said.

Cruz cited his STOP FUNDERs Act — short for “Financial Underwriting of Nefarious Demonstrations and Extremist Riots” — which he introduced in July. The bill would authorize the Department of Justice to use RICO statutes to prosecute individuals or organizations that fund violent protests.

“This politicized march is being organized by Soros operatives and funded by Soros money. No one denies these basic facts,” Cruz told Fox News Digital. “The Trump administration and the Republican Congress are committed to countering this network of left-wing violence.”

The Open Society Foundations, in a statement on its website, emphasized that it does not pay or train protesters and “opposes all forms of violence, including violent protests.”

Indivisible’s own protest guide states, “Protests are most effective when we peacefully use our constitutionally protected rights of assembly and speech and properly prepare ahead of time.”

Republican lawmakers remain concerned about the network of funding that fuels mass demonstrations.

Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., sent a letter Thursday to Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging an immediate investigation into the Open Society Foundations and other Soros-backed groups.

“The funding of organizations that engage in, support, or incite political violence must not be tolerated,” Carter wrote, citing a recent report that found Soros’ foundations distributed more than $80 million to groups accused of endorsing or participating in domestic extremism.

As protests prepare to fill streets nationwide this weekend, scrutiny over their funding — and Soros’ influence — continues to mount.
