🔥🔥🔥Update to Data Republicans reporting that can’t be ignored! Funding for Demaids, Danielle Reiff’s, Democracy Renewal Group originates at its parent. The parent org, Action Center on Race and The Economy Institute, being funded by the Proteus Fund and others such as CIA linked Rockefeller.
The Proteus Fund is the most important. Proteus has coordinated the efforts of state, local, and national activist groups for the Trump resistance since 2016.
“On Nov 16, 2016, the Solidaire Network, Women Donors Network, Threshold Foundation and the Soros Democracy Alliance — came together to create the Emergent Fund. A rapid response fund to help move quick resources with no strings attached. The Emergent Fund is ran by the Proteus fund. Proteus coordinates the efforts of state, local, and national activist groups.”
🔥Huge news! Recall Danielle Reiff of Demaid is also Co-Leader of the Democracy Renewal Group. Well there’s a lot you don’t know about this group. This is important in respect to the Federal workers, Tesla protests, and radical leftists with their billionaire funders.
Here’s Danielle’s comment on the Federal workers:
"We are also starting to consult federal workers on how to do some blocking inside the govt agencies during emergency situations
Well, Democracy Renewal Group is actually ran by Bridge4 which runs the Federal Unionists Network (FUN) which organizes over 17,000 federal workers.
“Branch4 is a nonprofit organization established in 2025 specifically designed as a home and organizing hub for rank-and-file federal workers and career civil servants.”
But Bridge4 is also ran by the Action Center on Race & the Economy Institute (ACREI).
Here’s the hierarchy on this:
Action Center on Race & the Economy Institute (ACREI) 👉Branch4👉Democracy Renewal Group
“Branch4 works to defend and rebuild the administrative branch of government by organizing with federal workers and partnering with communities to strengthen democracy from the inside out.”
So wouldn’t you know it that Branch4 also led the Federal Unionists Network (FUN) Tesla protests. Recall Data Republicans post on Danielle Reiff admitting to involvement. This is the where and how.
What this gives you is a protesting leftist filled rats nest, with the top LEFTIST org, ACREI, based in Obama’s Chicago Illinois.
Let’s review some of the staffing at Bridge4 to start.
- Cathy Albisa, Co-Executive Director is also the Co-Chair of the Board of Directors at Soros Democracy Alliances NEO Philanthropies
- Melanie Vant, Senior National Organizing Director
Federal Unionists Network (she/her) was USAid
Melanie was also Obama campaign and taught organizing with Marshall Ganz. Marshall was Obama’s lead organizer.
- Kavitha Mediratta, Board Chair of Branch4 - founder and former executive director of the Atlantic Fellows for Racial Equity, USA and South Africa.
Those Atlantic Fellows funded the Arabella New Venture Funds Narrative Initiative. The folks that used the state of MN as a narrative change lab. And was involved in the George Floyd mess too.
- Marsha Gunthrie, Board Member of Branch4 - Senior Director of the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE)
Branch4’s partners include:
- 🔥Democracy forward
- Resistance rangers
- Race forward
- Etc
The absolute top org, ACREI, is where the funding comes from and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. They get their cash from:
- Rockefeller Fndn
- Ford Foundation
- ARCA Foundation
- Proteus Fund 🫣This Soros Democracy Alliance linked fund was used for rapid response Trump resistance efforts.
It is not surprising that the president of the Chicago teachers union, Stacy Davis Gates, works at ACREI. Because this is a union heavy org pretty much like its child, Bridge4 too.
Stacy is also leadership from SEIU and the AFL-CIO.
Saqib Bhatti is the Co-Founder & Executive Director. He’s an experienced organizer from an immigrant Pakistani family who spent a decade orchestrating corporate campaigns for major labor unions like SEIU and UNITE HERE.
