A report by Fox News Digital reporter Asra Q. Nomani describes what it says is a coordinated network of socialist activist organizations with financial support tied to billionaire philanthropist George Soros and pro-China businessman Neville Roy Singham that is organizing protests against major American technology companies.
According to the Fox News Digital investigation, these groups are not simply spontaneous local activists. Instead, they operate through a coordinated protest infrastructure that brings together nonprofit organizations, messaging networks and organized demonstrations aimed at companies that work with the U.S. government, military, law enforcement and immigration authorities.
Nomani’s report describes the movement as a “sophisticated, donor-backed protest network” mobilizing campaigns against American technology firms at a time when the United States is competing with China in artificial intelligence and other strategic technologies.
A Protest Outside Palantir’s New Headquarters
One example highlighted in the Fox News Digital report was a protest outside the new headquarters of Palantir Technologies in Aventura, Florida.
Palantir is a government contractor that supports U.S. military and intelligence operations. Among its programs is Project Maven, which uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze large amounts of data for military targeting and surveillance.
During the demonstration, activists protested the company’s work with the U.S. government and immigration enforcement agencies.
One demonstrator, Britney Cooke of the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party, struck a piñata made to resemble President Donald Trump while a small crowd cheered.
The protest was not an isolated event. According to the investigation, it was part of a broader campaign by a network of organizations that have organized demonstrations against companies such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft over their work with the U.S. military and law enforcement.
Funding Behind the Activist Network
The investigation reports that the protest network receives support through several funding channels connected to prominent left-wing donors.
One source of funding is Neville Roy Singham, an American-born technology entrepreneur based in Shanghai who openly supports the Chinese Communist Party.
Singham has reportedly financed groups connected to the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which has served as a central organizing force behind several demonstrations targeting American tech firms.
Another funding source comes from the Open Society philanthropies created by George Soros.
The activist organization Mijente has received about $1.6 million since 2020 from one of the Open Society organizations. The Center for Media Justice, another group working with the network, has received roughly $2 million over time from the same philanthropic system.
Mijente reported $2.6 million in revenues in its most recent tax filing, while the People’s Forum, another organization linked to the protest network, reported about $7 million in revenue.
Critics say the use of tax-exempt nonprofit structures allows activist groups to build a professional protest infrastructure with coordinated messaging and organizing.
Chuck Flint, president of the Alliance for IRS Accountability and a former Florida prosecutor, raised concerns about the situation.
“This type of fake activism disturbs me,” Flint told Fox News Digital. “These groups are helping China and hurting the United States.”
He added that the protests appear to be part of something more organized than spontaneous grassroots activism.
“This is certainly not grassroots activism,” Flint said. “It looks more like a foreign influence operation that is actually weaponizing American tax laws to undermine American national security interests.”
The Socialist Organizations Behind the Campaigns
The Fox News Digital investigation highlights several organizations that work together to organize demonstrations against American technology firms.
Each of these groups openly promotes socialist or anti-capitalist political ideas and often frames U.S. foreign policy and technology development as part of what they call American imperialism.
Below are several of the key organizations identified in the report.
Party for Socialism and Liberation
The Party for Socialism and Liberation is a Marxist political organization whose program calls for a socialist transformation of the United States.
The group says its mission is to carry out “the struggle for socialism inside the United States.”
According to its political program, capitalism creates “an irreconcilable conflict” between workers and what it describes as a tiny class of capitalist owners.
The organization argues that modern capitalism concentrates wealth in the hands of a few and that “the socialist reorganization of society becomes more apparent and urgent with each passing day.”
Members of the group frequently appear at demonstrations wearing bright red shirts with the organization’s name.
During the Florida protest, Miami chapter leader Romeo Umana delivered remarks opposing Palantir and its government work.
“We refuse to let Miami become the Silicon Valley of surveillance repression,” Umana said. “No to mass surveillance. No to mass deportation. And no to genocide.”
All-African People’s Revolutionary Party
Another group involved in the protest is the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party, a socialist political movement rooted in Pan-African ideology.
The organization describes itself as a revolutionary socialist party that seeks the liberation and unification of Africa under what it calls scientific socialism.
According to its political philosophy, African people worldwide share a common struggle against what the group describes as capitalism, imperialism, racism and neocolonialism.
The party states that there is “one scientific and correct solution,” which it identifies as Pan-Africanism combined with socialism.
Members of the organization have also promoted the idea of an international socialist revolution and have criticized what they describe as U.S. hegemony.
Mijente
Mijente is a Phoenix-based nonprofit organization that focuses on activism among Latino and Chicano communities.
The group says it seeks “justice and self-determination for all people” and organizes political campaigns, advocacy initiatives and leadership programs.
Mijente runs several campaigns targeting technology companies and government agencies.
Among them is the campaign called #NoTechForICE, which opposes the use of technology by U.S. immigration enforcement.
Another initiative, called “Take Back Tech,” aims to build a movement against what the group describes as the “Tech Oligarchy.”
Mijente states that it seeks “transformative change” and emphasizes organizing networks of activists and communities to influence policy and technology development.
Center for Media Justice
The Center for Media Justice is another nonprofit connected to the network organizing the campaigns.
Based in Oakland, California, the group focuses on digital rights, media policy and technology activism.
It works with partner organizations to challenge the use of technology in law enforcement, surveillance and immigration enforcement systems.
The investigation notes that the organization has received significant financial support from Democratic-aligned philanthropic networks, including grants from Soros-linked organizations.
People’s Forum
The People’s Forum is another group linked to the protest ecosystem.
The organization hosts events and programs that criticize American foreign policy and promote socialist and anti-imperialist ideas.
At one event organized with the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party, promotional materials described the United States as an empire built on “war, genocide and exploitation of labor and resources.”
The same message called for what organizers described as a unified anti-imperialist revolutionary movement within the United States.
Campaigns Targeting U.S. Technology Companies
According to the investigation, the organizations involved in the network focus their activism on companies that develop technology used by the U.S. government.
These companies include Palantir, Amazon, Google and Microsoft.
The protests often focus on issues such as immigration enforcement, predictive policing, military technology and large-scale data systems used by government agencies.
Many of the demonstrations call for companies to end cooperation with the Pentagon, immigration authorities and law enforcement agencies.
The report describes campaigns that are coordinated through shared messaging, digital organizing tools and joint events across multiple cities.
Critics Call for Investigations
Critics cited in the report say the activities of the protest network raise national security concerns.
Chuck Flint argued that the federal government should examine whether nonprofit organizations involved in the network are complying with laws governing foreign influence and tax-exempt status.
“You should not get a federal tax subsidy to do the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party,” Flint told Fox News Digital.
He added that the protests appear to be “disguised activism that’s really foreign influence.”
Nomani’s investigation concludes that the coordinated activism is emerging at a time when American technology companies are increasingly involved in military and intelligence work while the United States competes with China in artificial intelligence and advanced technology.
As the demonstrations ended outside Palantir’s headquarters in Florida, organizers packed up their signs and sound systems while television crews departed. But the network behind the protests appears to be part of a broader campaign targeting the role of technology companies in American national security.
