Soros-Backed Operatives in Hawai‘i?

What the Capital Research Center report on George Soros alleges about the Sunrise Movement, co-founded by Hawai‘i’s own Evan Weber—and how he ties into a local gang of four Soros-backed activists and far-left progressive politicians in Hawai‘i’s state government… the roots of Hawai‘i’s far-left socialist agenda, the push for illegal-immigration leniency, defund-the-police campaigns, celebrating Hamas, praising the Chinese Communist Party, and stoking deep resentment and hatred toward the United States…

🧵Part 1: The Sunrise Movement

1/ The Sunrise Movement co-founded by Evan Weber of Kailua, Hawaii, is categorized by The Capital Research Center as a group that directly assists domestic terrorism and criminality on U.S. soil. These groups specifically engage in or materially assist violence, property destruction, economic sabotage, harassment, and other criminality that meets the FBI’s definition of domestic terrorism. It received $2 million donation from Open Society Foundation.

2/ Sunrise, also known as Sunrise Movement, is primarily focused on environmentalism but also helps build financial and popular support for ANARCHIST TERRORISTS, wishes for ISRAEL’S DESTRUCTION, has some PRO-HAMAS chapters, seeks the ABOLISHMENT OF POLICE AND PRISONS and condemns tourism to Hawaii as “COLONIZATION.”
(the exact same sentiments as Af3irm Hawaii – “We are militant because we matter”)

3/ North American and European affiliates of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a Marxist-Leninist terrorist group allied with Hamas and backed by the Iranian theocracy, organized a coalition in June 2024 to express solidarity with the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen and root for them and other Iran-backed terrorists to defeat the U.S., Israel and their allies.

4/ The pro-Houthi coalition’s joint statement declared members’ support for the Iranian regime and its network of terrorists and militias. It falsely described airstrikes on Houthi targets intended to impede the group’s ongoing attacks on international shipping as a “massacre.” The text included the following treasonous endorsement of those fighting the U.S. and the West:

5/ The Pittsburgh and New Orleans chapters are official supporters of the Coalition to March on the DNC, which was an alliance that included over 150 extremist groups and endorsed the Hamas-led atrocities on October 7, 2023. The Coalition also expresses solidarity with the governments of Russia and China, depicting them as victims of Western aggression.

6/ In October 2021, Sunrise announced it would withdraw from a rally promoting statehood for Washington D.C. because of the involvement of three Jewish organizations that agree with Zionism, the belief that Israel has a right to exist. It asked not to be invited to future coalitions that include Zionists.

7/ The statement referred to Israel as a “colonial project” whose existence is a violation of “racial justice, self-governance, and indigenous sovereignty.” Sunrise further condemned those who agree with Israeli military and law enforcement counter-terrorism operations while not voicing a word against Palestinian terrorism and violence.

8/ In April 2023, Sunrise supported “forest defenders” were the militant protestors who were attempting to physically prevent the construction of an 85-acre Atlanta Public Safety Training Center for police and firefighters. It is derided by opponents as “Cop City.” Most of the protestors are anarchists who have adopted the Antifa (meaning “anti-fascist”) label.

9/ The project was announced in 2021 by the Democratic Mayor of Atlanta, Keisha Lance Bottoms, who emphasized that it would include enhanced facilities to “learn de-escalation and harm reduction techniques that reduce the use of force.” The condition of current training facilities was described as "deplorable."

10/ Over 40 of the anarchists are being prosecuted on domestic terrorism charges as of February 2024 and over 60 were indicted in August 2023 on racketeering charges. Among those accused of being terrorists is Thomas Jurgens, one of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s attorneys.

11/ The terrorist campaign receives significant funding from communist Fergie Chambers, who derives his wealth from his billionaire family. He said in 2024 that he had donated “a couple million dollars” to Stop Cop City. He admires Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, talks positively about the Hamas-led October 7 terrorist attacks and believes......

12/ Sunrise also urged its audience to support “Atlanta Solidarity Fund,” (ASF). ASF posts bail and provides legal defenses for the arrested protestors. Prosecutors alleged that it provided funds for ammunition, surveillance equipment, handheld radios, a drone and an array of camping supplies for Stop Cop City terrorist activities. Three ASF leaders are facing racketeering charges but money laundering charges were dropped.

13/ The coalition of extremists called Defend the Atlanta Forest are engaging in arson, property damage and violence against law enforcement personnel and utility workers to try to stop the facility’s construction. Attacks include setting a police vehicle ablaze, throwing Molotov cocktails, bricks and rocks at police, setting construction equipment on fire, blocking roads with obstacles like tires, harming police officers’ eyes with lasers, and targeting the building that houses the Atlanta Police Foundation with fireworks.
However, Sunrise claims that one of its principles is,..

14/ It is important to observe that the statement does not reject violence and only says that Sunrise as an organization will not engage in violence. It does not take against other groups’ violence or rule out Sunrise’s backing for others’ violence. Sunrise supports defunding and abolishing the police and prisons. Sunrise is favorable towards the Chinese Communist Party-run government of China. It held a four-day course in July 2020 to teach activists…

15/ In July 2021, Sunrise signed a joint letter that accused the Biden Administration of promoting anti-Chinese bigotry and “racist, right-wing movements.” It claimed that cooperation between the U.S. and China on climate change was being undermined by the U.S.’s “dominant antagonistic” and “growing Cold War mentality driving the United States’ approach to China.”

16/ Sunrise condemned tourism to Hawaii in May 2022 and expressed its desire to see the state secede from the U.S. It said:

17/ Despite all of this the Sunrise Movement continues to portray itself as a nonviolent, youth-led climate justice organization championing the Green New Deal, with national leadership from Kaniela Ing (former Hawai‘i State Representative).

18/ In Part 2, I’ll connect Mauro’s research to Hawai‘i’s local nonprofits—starting with Evan Weber’s primary focus here: Our Hawai‘i Action, the Super PAC he co-founded with Ing. The board members of this PAC tie into a network of progressive organizations that actively influence Hawai‘i’s political landscape and help finance campaigns to elevate their allies into positions of power.

@ryanmauro Did it ever mention Evan's name? He is on X - look how many organizations he founded or is on the board of ....Sunrise Movement is mot active in Hawaii at all but he has Our Hawaii Action & also worked for Omidyar at Elemental Impact
