Daniel Higdon (OP) User ID: 69657566 United States 08/13/2016 10:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One of the documents from the website: Executive Summary: U.S. Programs 2015-2018 Strategy In revisiting the United States’ approach to “the war on terror,” President Obama has emphasized that this nation must remain “an open society.” In the coming years, the nation faces profound shifts that threaten this aspiration. These include the expanded influence of the private sector in public affairs, growing economic inequality that reinforces the marginalization of racial and other minorities, increasingly paralyzed government institutions (especially at the federal level), and fundamental challenges to fact-based discourse. The 2015-2018 U.S. Programs Strategic Plan, which has been approved by the U.S. Programs Advisory Board, sets forth a significant set of objectives and strategies to address these challenges. It builds on the comprehensive reviews undertaken by the U.S. Programs Advisory Board at the request of George Soros in recent years and the refinement of approach and organizational structure U.S. Programs has undertaken in the past two. In addition to the refinement of its substantive goals, the Plan proposes that U.S. Programs continue to expand its close working relationship with the Open Society Policy Center, further our focus on our anchor and core grantees (expected to be approximately 15% of our budget), explore more extensive use of social impact investing and collaboration with international components of the Open Society Foundations, and retain our commitment to balancing strategy with opportunism (reflected in the USP Opportunities Fund which will constitute 20-25% of our budget). Recognizing that the upcoming four years will include seminal events ranging from the next Presidential election to the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan, U.S. Programs will organize our efforts around the following four goals: A more inclusive and accountable American democracy. Over the next four years, we will enlarge and protect the electorate through reform of voting practices in the post-Shelby era, begin to change campaign finance jurisprudence, preserve how the internet and new media models can further the free flow of information required by a healthy democracy, and take steps, particularly in select localities, to engage citizens in their democracy beyond voting; A fair criminal justice system. Over the next four years we will continue to reduce mass incarceration and further challenge harsh punishment such as the death penalty and build on promising movements in drug policy reform by promoting a health-centered approach to drug use and addiction; Full political, economic, and civic participation of communities of color and immigrants. Over the next four years we will work to secure comprehensive immigration reform and aggressive Executive action to end harsh enforcement policies, reduce the racial wealth gap, address barriers to quality educational opportunities for children of color by reforming school discipline policy, and strengthen the field of racial justice by increasing institutional effectiveness and changing the narrative about race in this country; Equitable economic growth. Over the next four years, we will take our first steps related to this new goal, including supporting localities seeking to create inclusive economic development, continuing our work to understand the implications of technological change on jobs, and providing opportunistic support toward relevant efforts such as those to increase the minimum wage. This new goal offers an opportunity for us to better coordinate our existing work, such as that to promote housing and credit reform and to connect people with criminal records to employment opportunities.

This work will extend beyond an election-only emphasis to include the development of new political and community leadership and on-the-ground civic capacity. The 2020 Project is intended to connect the interests of nearly all programs, from voting rights to immigrant political engagement to confronting prison-based gerrymandering to the development of civic capacity through the Civic Core and local Open Places efforts, among others. The project will feature significant consultation and engagement with our anchor and core grantees, Democracy Alliance partners and other donors, and field leaders, such as Planned Parenthood, progressive labor, and other allies. Beginning in 2015 with initial investments, U.S. Programs anticipates seeking to have national impact by and in 2020, through targeted work in a small number of states. States such as Arizona, Georgia, or North Carolina, are quickly changing demographically and rising in political significance. They are often where the most compelling opportunities to confront distortions in democracy exist. New U.S. Programs investments would complement existing work on voting rights, voting systems reforms, and money in politics and, in a small number of states, our options, in conjunction with OSPC, could include: |

Daniel Higdon (OP) User ID: 69657566 United States 08/13/2016 11:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One of the documents found: Urgent Response in Defense of Women’s Health – Planned Parenthood Action Fund Amount Requested $1,500,000 Over the last three weeks, Planned Parenthood has come under attack from anti-abortion extremists who have spent years laying the groundwork for a sophisticated smear campaign aimed at discrediting the organization and cutting off the public funding it currently receives for providing health care services. While Planned Parenthood has been attacked before, this latest attempt is unprecedented in its scale and scope. Opponents created a fake company, filed false tax documents, and used fraudulent government IDs to gain the trust of Planned Parenthood doctors and clinicians and try to entrap them, using secretly obtained and deceptively edited videos. One of the founders of this fake company is the head of Operation Rescue, the extremist organization whose members have been linked to clinic bombings and the murder of Dr. George Tiller. Abortion opponents in Congress and in statehouses are using the deceptive videos to make the case for defunding Planned Parenthood, and more videos may yet be released. The U.S. Senate voted on a defunding proposal on Monday, but failed by five votes to stop a filibuster. Many Republicans in both chambers, however, have vowed to strike Planned Parenthood funding from the annual spending bills that will be negotiated in the fall, even threatening to shut down the government to get their way. At the same time, governors and state legislatures around the country are signaling similar battles to come over state funding. <snip> This $1.5 million grant provided an infusion of 501(c)(4) funding to Planned Parenthood Action Fund (PPAF) as they were waging a critical defense against attacks to the reputation and credibility of Planned Parenthood and potential loss of federal funding. This emergency funding enabled PPAF to implement its multipronged Fight Back Campaign to mobilize grassroots and grasstops supporters and lobby Congress to counter attempts to defund Planned Parenthood at the federal and state levels, and to continue providing critical reproductive health care services across the country.

Still from the 2009 memo and TIF is the Transparency and Integrity Fund: Justice Souter’s retirement leaves a vacancy on the Supreme Court that will be a major focus of TIF efforts in the coming months. In its first docket of 2009, TIF made several grants in preparation for this eventuality. They include a sizeable grant to the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund for its role as convenor of the Coalition for a Fair and Independent Judiciary, an OSI-supported coalition that engages in nonpartisan nominations-related activities, as well as a grant to the National Council of Jewish Women, highlighting the Fund's increased focus on grassroots strategies on judicial nominations. At the same time, current TIF grantees the Constitutional Accountability Center, the National Senior Citizens Law Center, and the American Constitution Society have been highly visible in the media and at events around the country using the Court vacancy to engage the nation in a conversation about the text, history, and meaning of our Constitution. |
