"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
They've also donated $76,583 during that same time to "United We Dream Network" @UNITEDWEDREAM
a Marxist organization that demands:
βOpen Borders
βDefunding of the Police
βAmnesty 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
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.
We are going to review the Covid-19 Funds the @CityofAustin has dispersed
There will be a distinction between COVID relief funds and grants
Let's see what companies the city supported while the shutdown of businesses led to 100+ closing permanently during COVID lock-downs
Joyce M. James whose career depends on keeping racism alive is contracted w/ the @austintexasgov to conduct a groundwater analysis of Austin's Systemic Racism @ $10,000 a day & not to exceed $2.9 million
She also took over $109,000 in covid relief funds for "Economy Consulting"

Yesterday we broke down @leadershipatx board members and some of their alumni.
Today we are going to look at what they are teaching.
@Mayoradlers Task Force on Institutional Racism & Systemic Inequities approved "Beyond Diversity"
This course was implemented back in 2019
@MayorAdler and his task force hired "Courageous Conversations" aka Pacific Educational Group in 2017 to teach city employees "Beyond Diversity" education.
Totaling $60,300, before @leadershipatx adopted the training into their program.
