Who's Organizing and Funding the Gun Grabber School Walkout? The DNC.

Want to know who's funding the school gun grabber March for Our Lives movement? George Soros says he's not behind it, but he's all for it. Publicly, several large progressive organizations, donors, and stars are backing the March for Our Lives movement.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, of the DNC and Broward County, is the communications advisor. She's hired a PR firm for the kids, and MoveOn, the American Teachers Federation, Hollywood and Planned Parenthood are joining in. Next event? Commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Colombine slaughter with another school walkout in April. Sounds like political fundraising to me for the broke DNC. Guess MeToo fell flat so time to try something new. Time to replenish the coffers. Or am I just being cynical. Thoughts?

1) Giffords, an organization started by former US Rep. Gabrielle Giffords that fights gun violence, is working with Everytown and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America to plan the main march on Washington — as well as sister rallies across the country.

2) Everytown for Gun Safety — bankrolled mostly by Michael Bloomberg — recently secured a $1 million donation from entrepreneur and philanthropist Eli Broad.

3) MoveOn said it will encourage its millions of members to follow and promote the March for Our Lives movement on social media and attend the rally.

4) Planned Parenthood said it has been in contact and offered support to Giffords.

5) Democratic US Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Broward County resident for nearly 30 years, has been in touch with students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas since the day after the shooting, helping them connect to state legislators and plan their trip to Tallahassee. Wasserman Schultz said that she advised them on communication strategy. She also said she been in contact with Mark Kelly — Gabrielle Giffords' husband and one of the founders of the Giffords foundation. The DNC would like Mark Kelly to run for office.

6) Students met with a handful of Democratic leaders, including Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Bernie Sanders, US Rep. John Lewis, as well as Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan.

7) The American Federation of Teachers, which helped bus students and parents to Tallahassee multiple times last week, are now assisting with the March for Our Lives rally.

8) AFT is organizing another “National School Walkout” taking place in April to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Columbine. They intend to use gun control and student safety as major platforms and key issues for voters in the midterm elections.

9) The students and their parents have also brought on 42West, a public relations firm in the entertainment industry, to help “the March for Our Lives group manage the flood of media inquires that their campaign has attracted. 42West is not providing the students with legal advice or financial advice and refused to provide details on who is helping manage the millions of dollars in donations they have received.

10) Cameron Kasky, the student organizer who started the March for Our Lives GoFundMe page, tweeted Sunday about “working with money people and law people.” So far his page has raised $3.3 million. Who will manage those funds?

11) In addition to the millions of dollars raised by A-list celebrities including Oprah, George and Amal Clooney, Steven Spielberg, and Jeffrey Katzenberg, the March for Our Lives GoFundMe page has raised an additional $3.3 million as of 3/14. Some of the highest GoFundMe donations have come from philanthropists such as Jeff Raikes — the former CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation — and his wife, Tricia, as well as Chris and Camille Bently, who run the Bently Foundation.
