𝑷𝑨𝑹𝑻 6 𝑺𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑬𝑺 𝑻𝑯𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑫: How a Wealthy Billionaire is influencing local politics playing shell games in collaboration with elected officials in @austintexasgov

Today we are going to discuss @workersdefense
Project but first, we must ask...

Who is Cristina Tzintzun Ramirez @cristinanextgen
?

Cristina is a first-generation American & a Democrat Socialist #DSA who ran for US Senator in Texas in 2019

She was endorsed by socialist @FlipTheSenate
Coalition.

#FlipTheSenate was launched by Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee @dscc
& paid for by The Action PAC

Top donors to the PAC:

America Votes - (Sixteen Thirty slush fund)
AFSCME - @AFLCIO

Sixteen Thirty Fund

We've previously established the connection between #AFSCME & Sixteen Thirty Fund to @georgesoros

Like many socialist organizations, they vanish as quickly as they pop up.

Today howweflipthesenate.com no longer exists and The Action PAC also vanished as it merged w/ @GrassrootsLawTX PAC

The Action PAC was a top Endorsement for @GregCasar for the city council seat.

Grassroots Law PAC was co-founded by @shaunking
proclaimed socialist and endorsed candidates like @ZoForAustin @GregCasar @chitovela3 & @blibal

#ShaunKing also founded @RealJusticePAC
which endorsed @JosePGarza for @DATravisCounty
and was the 2nd major PAC to endorse Garza

@JosePGarza is a Socialist Member of the #DSA

Cristina Tzintzun founded the following organizations

Workers Defense Project @workersdefense

Jolt Action @JoltAction (covered in another series )
Austin Immigrant Rights Coalition
Hummingbird Consulting

She is President for @NextGenAmerica now

The #WorkersDefenseProject mission statement is as followed:

"A membership-based organization that empowers low-income workers to achieve fair employment through education, direct services, organizations, and strategic partnerships."

Between 2009 - 2020 the Workers' Defense Project violated its mission statement by spending $2,265,921.00 on recruiting and training individuals to lead "Social Justice Movements" through their Leadership Education Achievement Program #LEAP

In 2019, they spent $226,019 on Social Justice Training

In 2020 when they received $425,000 in COVID funds their spending increased on Social Justice Training by more than double totaling $531,995

They would conduct this training at the Third Coast Activist Resource Center under the guidance of Patrick YoungBlood who was Executive Director but is now a Board Member and is currently a Research Manager at the Frankfurt School for Marxism. I mean Columbia University

From 2019-2020 the @workersdefense
donated $76,584 to Grassroots Leadership @Grassroots_News a police abolitionist group which @chrisharris101 shortly worked with

They've also donated $76,583 during that same time to "United We Dream Network" @UNITEDWEDREAM
a Marxist organization that demands:

❌Open Borders
❌Defunding of the Police
❌Amnesty for all illegal immigrants

This goes perfectly w/ Cristina Tzintzun coalition that she started "Austin Immigrant Rights" where they coach immigrants on how to get asylums in the US by sexual orientation.

@UNITEDWEDREAM is endorsed by several socialist congress members and made up of several coalitions like @MoveOn & Center for Popular Democracy @CPDAction which are funded by @georgesoros

From 2019-2020 the @workersdefense
donated $76,584 to Texas Organizing Project @TXOrgProject (#TOP) was established shortly after scandals started to arise regarding their electioneering/election fraud that led to their collapse and 18 arrests.

By 2010 many members of #ACORN made a lateral transfer to #TOP after former #ACORN Alum Michelle Tremillo Co-Founded #TOP

Kimberly Olsen Texas's top Field Director went on to manage a smaller version of #TOP under Texas Tool Belt.

Texas Organizing Project's top donor is sixteen thirty fund

In 2018 @workersdefense paid FieldWorks LLC an organization that specializes in ballot harvesting.

In 2016 Congressman Patrick Meehan called for the US Attorney General Loretta Lynch to launch an investigation into FieldWorks in Delaware County

@workersdefense
works very closely w/ @TexasAFLCIO

They've built such a great relationship that they hired Cristina Tzintzun as a consultant under her "Hummingbird Consultant" company.

Cristina Tzintzun collected $207,175 over a 2 year period between 2016-2017 Consulting for UAW @AFLCIO right before her run for Texas State Senate.

By 2019 UAW @AFLCIO
faced a massive corruption scandal for the 2nd time. The investigation into labor law crimes, kickbacks, bribes, and embezzlement led prosecutors to secure 9 convictions which included President Gary Jones.

Since 2016 the Co-Executive Director of @workersdefense has been @JosePGarza
