As our election season heats up, a “shadow campaign” has already begun operating behind the scenes. Who and what are these organizations working to influence the vote in November?
From The Epoch Times. The 2024 “shadow campaign” is off and running. The Tides Foundation, a progressive nonprofit organization, announced on April 30 that it would move $200 million to non-profit groups to mobilize voters, particularly “among communities of color, young people, and under-resourced communities.”

The foundation, a self-described “organization dedicated to advancing social justice,” is part of the All by April campaign organized by the Democracy Fund and bankrolled by some of the biggest financiers of left-wing politics in the United States.
In early 2021, an article in Time magazine detailed a “shadow campaign“ run by a ”well-funded cabal of powerful people” to ostensibly protect the outcome of the 2020 election. …
Robert Stilson, a senior research analyst at the Capital Research Center, said many of the parties involved in the so-called shadow campaign are part of the All by April pledge. According to Mr. Stilson, the new campaign is markedly similar to the 2020 one. …
In an undated open letter published on its website, All by April said its purpose is to ensure that money is distributed well ahead of the 2024 elections. So-called “pro-democracy” nonprofit organizations consistently complain the “money came too late” for it to be fully effective in “[connecting] voters to the ballot and [helping] protect the integrity of our election system.” …
To date, none of the documents released by All by April or Democracy Fund indicate which groups will ultimately get money or how much money is being handed out.
Mr. Stilson, who tracks the activities of left-wing donor networks, said their structure makes it nearly impossible to tell where exactly the money will wind up. However, the groups committed to the All by April campaign collectively “control billions upon billions of dollars.”
Both All by April and Democracy Fund are 501 nonprofit organizations. Under the law, these groups are considered charitable and social benefit organizations. …
Soros and Arabella
As of May 1, more than 172 parties signed the commitment to put their dollars to use in the 2024 election as soon as possible.
Both George Soros’s Open Society Foundations and Arabella Advisors are All by April signatories. …
Arabella Advisors and one of its most politically active allies, New Venture Fund, also signed the pledge.
Targeting Swing States
While little is currently known about where the money will go in 2024, the Tides Foundation — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit — offered some clues.
In 2024, Tides will be “prioritizing funding community organizers in states where there are increasing numbers of people of color, youth, and communities facing barriers to exercising their democratic voice.”
This includes a focus on the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. …
