NAACP JOINS WITH SOROS GROUPS TO CARRY OUT MASS CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE
“On
Monday, April 18th, hundreds will come together for a day of mass
civil disobedience to save our democracy; will you be one of them?
Together, we’ll push for a Congress of Conscience — one that
stands up for our democracy rather than stands in its way.”
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE (NAACP) SAYS IT’SPART OF A COALITION OF LEFTWING GROUPS PLANNING A SECOND WAVE OF PROTESTS AND MASS CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE SCHEDULED TO DISRUPT WASHINGTON, DC LATER THIS MONTH.
Many
of the participating groups are backed by billionaire George
Soros. The
coalition, calling itself Democracy Awakening, is a three-day
activist movement that claims it
is “coming together to demand a democracy that works for all of us
– a nation where our votes are not denied and money doesn’t buy
access and power.”
It
is the sister movement of Democracy Spring,
which is currently
in the midst of
a 10-day protest march from Philadelphia to DC, with plans for a
major escalation in DC on April 11. On that date, the group says it
is plotting “one of the largest civil disobedience actions in a
generation.” As of this writing, 3,404 activists specifically
pledged online to participate in the main civil disobedience event
and risk arrest on on April 11 in D.C.
AFTER DEMOCRACY SPRING BEGINS TO WIND DOWN, DEMOCRACY AWAKENING PLANS A SECOND WIND OF REVOLUTIONARY ENERGY STARTING ON SATURDAY, APRIL 16.
Robert
Weissman, president of Public Citizen, a group that says it champions
citizen interests, is a lead organizer of Democracy Awakening.
Weissman told Breitbart
News in
an interview on Tuesday that the Awakening movement’s specific
plans for “direct action” are not yet finalized, but he said it
will include civil disobedience and activists risking arrest.
THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WILL BE THE FIRST IN 50 YEARS WITHOUT THE FULL PROTECTIONS OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT. STATES WITH THE WORST HISTORIES OF DISCRIMINATION ARE PUSHING FOR NEW BARRIERS TO BLOCK THE YOUNG, THE POOR, THE ELDERLY AND MINORITY VOTERS FROM THE BALLOT IN 2016. CONGRESS HAS SOLUTIONS TO RESTORE THE INTEGRITY OF THE VOTING PROCESS AND REMOVE THOSE BARRIERS BUT HAS SO FAR FAILED TO ACT ON ANY OF THOSE LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS.
DEMOCRACY AWAKENING IS OUR WAY OF COMING TOGETHER ACROSS ALL FAITHS, POLITICAL AFFILIATION, AND RACE AND CLAIM A DEMOCRACY WHERE EVERY VOICE IS HEARD AND EVERY VOTE COUNTS EQUALLY.
Asked why the group decided to take part in Democracy Awakening, Raquel Coombs, the NAACP’s vice president for communications and digital media, told Breitbart News:SOROS GROUPS
Groups signed
onto Democracy
Awakening include a litany of Soros-financed organizations.
Those Soros-financed
groupsinclude
MoveOn, AVAAZ, Campaign for America’s Future, Common Cause,
Democracy for America, Democracy 21, Demos, Institute for Policy
Studies, People for the American Way, Project Vote, and UHCAN.
Weissman’s
Public Citizen has also received significant
financing from
Soros’ Open Society. Soros’ Open Society has also given
numerous grants to
the NAACP.
‘DAY OF ACTION’
Democracy
Awakening is planning three days of teach-ins, marches, film
screenings and even after-parties. The marches aim to “circle
the Capitol to call on Congress to stand up for democracy and stop
blocking the reforms we need.”
So-called
direct action initiatives commence on Monday, April 18, with the
coalition dubbing that
date the “Congress of Conscience Day of Action.” The day seeks to
end the movement through a full day of “non-violent direct action
and advocacy.”
Democracy
Awakening requires
activists who participate in the direct action to “attend a
training on Saturday, Sunday, and/or the action briefing on Monday
morning.”
Kai
Newkirk, Democracy Spring’s campaign director,
enumerated to Breitbart
News the
links between his group and Democracy Awakening:
WE ARE LIKE TWO WINGS OF THE SAME BIRD. WE’RE PART OF A UNITED MOBILIZATION AND THE TWO COALITIONS HAVE VERY SUBSTANTIAL OVERLAP WITHIN THE ORGANIZATIONS AND THE LEADERS AND WE’RE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR DIFFERENT PART SO THE MOBILIZATIONS. WE ARE LEADING THE MARCH FROM PHILLY TO DC AND THE START OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE, AND THEY ARE LEADING EFFORTS OF RALLY FOR DEMOCRACY.
