Why follow the money? Because from Los Angeles to D.C., we’ve seen these protests escalate into violence—and we must understand who’s behind them to understand why.
These aren’t mom-and-pop protestors. This is an elite class of political influencers using nonprofit structures to operate like a shadow government. Just look at their annual salaries:
- Randi Weingarten: $474,951
- Al Sharpton: $648,786
- ACLU’s Anthony Romero: $1.3 million
Fairfax County citizen Lissa Kenkel @NOVAHopeSo, who helped me cull the financial data, puts it well: 
“The very people bankrolling and leading these so-called grassroots movements are the crowned royalty of the nonprofit world, sitting in their air-conditioned offices, collecting six-figure salaries, while encouraging the common folk to torch their own cities in the name of ‘saving democracy.’"
"It’s manufactured chaos, sold as revolution, by people who wouldn’t last five minutes in the rubble they’re creating.”
Here’s the #NoKings protest funding breakdown, and I'll list all the groups in a thread: 
- 3 official entities of the Democratic National Committee: College Democrats of America, Manhattan Young Democrats and Westside Democratic Headquarters in Norwalk, Calif.
- 16 Democratic political action committees, or PACs, including Friends of Bernie Sanders, Progressive Democrats of America and Vote Blue — with about $19.4 million in spending power for Democratic political candidates.
- 18 Democratic-aligned 501(c)(5) labor unions, including lead organizer, the American Federation of Teachers, along with the United Auto Workers, the Communications Workers of America and the National Treasury Employees Union, with a total of $1.1 billion in revenues, most of their political contributions going to Democratic candidates.
- 76 Democratic-aligned 501(c)(4) political nonprofits, including the ACLU, Sierra Club, League of Conservation Voters, Working Families Organization Inc., Human Rights Campaign, Planned Parenthood Action Fund and lead organizer Indivisible Project, all with another $734.3 million in revenues.
- 47 501(c)(3) nonprofits, legally restricted from partisan advocacy, including innocuous-sounding groups like the Unitarian Universalist Association, Accountable US and the American Humanist Association, with $286.7 million to the cause.
- 38 additional Democratic-aligned groups, including Michigan Resistance Coalition, Families Over Billionaires, 50501, Tax the Greedy Billionaire and Mennonite Action, with undisclosed financials.
TOTAL: 198 groups with $2.1 billion in annual revenue behind #NoKings
But this isn’t just about June 14.
Many of the same groups also oganized earlier protests like #TeslaTakedown, #HandsOff, and #MayDay. In those protests, we identified 267 more organizations with a combined $1.3 billion in annual revenue.
That brings the total to:
- 475 organizations
- $3.4 billion in annual budgets
- All aligned against Trump’s movement
And we’re not done. My database includes another 1,500+ organizations—many involved in anti-Israel protests, anti-ICE demonstrations, and other coordinated mass mobilizations. Stay tuned for those results.
This is not a grassroots movement. It’s a billion-dollar machine dressed in protest gear.
