Soros’ foundation commits $50 million to women and youth groups’ work on democracy
The new Open Society commitment will support nonprofits working on a wide range of issues affecting these groups, including reproductive justice, climate change, voting and gun safety.
Such support is needed, said Shawnda Chapman, director of innovative grantmaking and research for the Ms. Foundation for Women, adding that foundations looking to support social justice need to fund nonprofits in the movement as if they want them to win. The Ms. Foundation published research last week advocating for more financial support for women and gender-nonconforming people of color leading nonprofits on the frontlines of social justices issues.

LOL! YouTube even recently auto-generated a ‘topic’, for Blinken, although they’re all older videos.

My bet is they use this as a way to implement color revolutions/regime changes!

Accusations link him to violence during the protests, but these remain uninvestigated due to fears of reprisals. Western powers have largely avoided addressing the allegations to maintain Ukraine’s image and not validate Russian narratives.
