The expected worldwide mobilization of protests this weekend, from Mississippi to Malawi, will hardly be a spontaneous eruption. On the contrary, the tumult is a carefully plotted production (complete with a protest song book) financed by the progressive dark money network that has perfected the mounting of made-to-order protests.
This “grassroots” day of defiance targets Donald Trump and his “billionaire allies,” according to organizers. The dark money network funding it is known as Arabella Advisors, whose benefactors are the left’s own billionaire heroes, the CONTROLIGARCHS, including George Soros, Bill Gates, Hansjorg Wyss, Mark Zuckerberg, and Reid Hoffman.
Arabella provided nearly $5 million to two leftwing nonprofits involved with the “anti-I.C.E.” riots in Los Angeles this past week, according to the most recent financial disclosures available. One of those groups, Community Change Action, supports the L.A. protests and has provided protest tips in Spanish. Its “brainchild,” the Fair Immigration Reform Movement, has trained children how to aggressively protest.
Another group, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, was accused by Senator Josh Hawley of fomenting “unlawful” unrest this week and has supplemented its Arabella cash with more than $50 million in state and federal grants since 2021. Indeed, taxpayers are unwittingly partnering with Arabella- and Soros-funded groups to back social unrest.

And the protests this weekend? Arabella has dumped more than $100 million into the coffers of the official “No Kings” protest partners.
Map: Nationwide Mobilization Effort
This weekend’s day of demonstrations is dubbed “No Kings,” a purpose-built protest brand created by an entity called The Indivisible Project (or “Indivisible”). That entity and its eponymous offshoots – “Indivisible Civics,” “Indivisible Action,” “Indivisible East Bay,” et al – sprung up as an activist mobilization machine in response to Trump’s 2016 victory.
Led by activists Ezra Levin and his spouse, Leah Greenberg, Indivisible has helped organize numerous anti-Trump protests. Among the partners and affiliates of No Kings are familiar names such as the ACLU and Sierra Club, and more controversial groups such as 350, which promoted and participated in the 2023 “Stop Cop City” direct actions in Atlanta which ultimately descended into firebombing chaos and saw more than 60 rioters arrested and charged with various crimes, including RICO.
Two of Arabella’s top benefactors – the godfather of dark money, George Soros, and shadowy Swiss-billionaire Hansjorg Wyss – are anchor investors in Indivisible’s operations. Soros’s Open Society Network provided important financial support, ultimately upwards of $8 million, while Wyss’s political action fund funneled $2.5 million to the Indivisible professional protest machine. LinkedIn founder and Big Tech oligarch Reid Hoffman funded Indivisible’s Truth Brigade (a project to combat supposed right-wing disinformation), and the left-wing funding behemoth, Tides Nexus, has given more than $3 million.
Arabella’s Sixteen Thirty Fund, which The Atlantic called the “indisputable heavyweight of Democratic dark money,” has cut multiple checks to Indivisible for “civil rights, social action, and advocacy.” In its most recently available financial disclosure (2023), Indivisible reported $14.06 million in contributions. And while Indivisible is the credited organizer of the No Kings protests, its “partners” are the real big money players behind the demonstrations.
The Government Accountability Institute obtained the most recent Arabella financial disclosures (2019 through 2023), crunched the numbers and found that, in addition to direct funding to Indivisible, the Arabella network has showered the No Kings protest partners and affiliates with at least $114.8 million.
More alarming than the staggering sums that leftwing billionaires are spending on “direct action” protest machines is the fact that taxpayers will almost certainly be funding, at least indirectly, a portion of these protests. As mentioned above, the anti-I.C.E. demonstrations in L.A. were fomented by a group that got state and federal tax dollars.
It’s a force-multiplying approach that progressives have mastered, as we learned from the “Gold Bars Off the Titanic” episode, when EPA chief Lee Zeldin revealed that the Biden administration tried to disburse tens of billions of climate cash into the coffers of purpose-built progressive NGOs (Arabella’s Windward Fund, for example, was a partner recipient of $2 billion from the EPA for the Rewiring America initiative that Stacey Abrams advised).
Three of the largest Arabella-run funds funneling billionaire cash to professional protest groups are the New Venture Fund, the Hopewell Fund, and the Windward Fund.
Here’s the corporate structure…
The No Kings call to action exhorts disgruntled Americans to “join millions across the country on June 14 to march against authoritarian politics and billionaire takeover.” Whether or not the protests turn violent, as in Los Angeles, remains to be seen. But whatever happens on the Day of Defiance, its organizers and media allies are certain to call it “mostly peaceful.”

Arabella Advisors is a Washington, D.C.-based for-profit consulting company founded in 2005 by Eric Kessler, a former Clinton administration appointee. It advises left-leaning donors and nonprofits on philanthropic giving and serves as a central hub for a network of politically liberal “dark money” groups.
Here’s a breakdown of what can be found on Arabella Advisors:
Services:
Strategic guidance and consulting: They help individuals, families, foundations, and corporations with their philanthropic goals, providing expert advice on grantmaking, advocacy, and impact investing.
Operational support: They offer services like human resources, legal compliance, accounting, and general management for nonprofits.
Fiscal sponsorship and project incubation: A key part of their model involves managing a suite of independent nonprofit organizations (such as the New Venture Fund, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, the Hopewell Fund, the Windward Fund, the North Fund, the Telescope Fund, and the Impetus Fund) that act as fiscal sponsors for various charitable initiatives and “pop-up” groups. This allows clients to focus on their mission while Arabella’s team handles the operational framework.
Impact Investing: They help clients use return-seeking investments to drive social impact.
Collaboration & Network Building: They enable donors and others to increase their collective impact by working together.
Structure and Funding:
Arabella Advisors is a for-profit company that earns revenue from consulting fees charged to wealthy donors and left-leaning foundations, as well as management fees from its network of sponsored nonprofits.
The “Arabella network” is composed of Arabella Advisors and its affiliated nonprofits. These nonprofits collectively raise and spend significant amounts of money. For example, in 2023, they raised over $1.3 billion in anonymous donations and sent nearly $1.5 billion to other organizations.
The network has been linked to substantial funds from other left-wing foundations, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation. Billionaires like George Soros and Pierre Omidyar have also disclosed multi-million dollar donations to the network.
Their use of fiscal sponsorship and “pass-through” arrangements makes it difficult to trace the original donors of funds, contributing to the “dark money” label.
Activities and Controversies:
Political influence: Arabella Advisors and its affiliated groups have been active in various efforts to support progressive causes and oppose Republican politicians and policies, particularly the Trump administration. They have spent millions on issues like health care, economic policies, Supreme Court nominations, ballot measures, environmental regulations, and election law.
“Dark Money” accusations: Critics often refer to Arabella Advisors as a “dark money” network because of its structure, which allows large amounts of money to be channeled to political causes with minimal disclosure of donors.
“Pop-up” groups: Arabella’s network has sponsored hundreds of “fake” groups that are primarily websites designed to appear as standalone activist organizations.
Investigations: In 2024, the D.C. Attorney General’s office closed an investigation into Arabella Advisors, finding no evidence of legal violations, after probes stemmed from IRS complaints from both liberal and conservative watchdogs.
In essence, Arabella Advisors is a significant player in the philanthropic and political landscape, known for its strategic consulting and its role in channeling large amounts of funds to left-leaning causes through a complex network of fiscally sponsored nonprofits, often with limited donor transparency.
