Randi Weingarten in 2008. All of them kept the union on the leftward course it
had adopted in its post-Shanker period.

and characterizes Israel as a brutal oppressor of the
Palestinian people.
·
Aspen Institute:
This organization promotes radical environmentalism and views America as a
nation plagued by deep-seated “structural racism.”

was convicted in 2005 of providing material support for terrorism.

Immigration: This organization seeks to create a unified movement
for “social and economic justice” centered on black racial identity.

of the state benefit from more progressive policies such as better access to
health care, higher wages, more affordable housing, a safer, cleaner
environment, and access to reproductive health services.”
·
Brennan Center for Justice:
This think tank/legal activist group generates scholarly studies, mounts media
campaigns, files amicus briefs, gives pro bono support to activists, and
litigates test cases in pursuit of radical “change.”
·
Brookings Institution:
This organization has been involved with a variety of internationalist and
state-sponsored programs, including one that aspires to facilitate the
establishment of a U.N.-dominated world government. Brookings Fellows have also

cuts in 2003.

campuses, counter the growing influence of right-wing groups on campus, and
empower new generations of progressive leaders.”

“developing a long-term vision of a progressive America” and “providing a
forum to generate new progressive ideas and policy proposals.”

Center for Community Change:

offered by a Democratic agenda.”

to put my money where my mouth is.”

organization pairs leftist donors and foundations with likeminded groups and
activists who are dedicated to bringing about their own version of

biased policy towards Israel.”
