URGENT UPDATE: Major activist groups opposing the U.S. military action in Iran have rapidly mobilized, fueled by a staggering $10.6 million from organizations backed by billionaire investor George Soros. This unprecedented funding has enabled groups like MoveOn and Win Without War to launch protests almost immediately following the recent U.S. strikes on Iranian targets.
The protests erupted in response to Operation Epic Fury, with organizations calling for a “mass mobilization” against the military actions. Tax filings reveal that between 2016 and 2024, Soros-related entities have donated more than $6 million to these activist organizations, with over $4 million allocated in the past four years alone.
Both MoveOn and Win Without War have been vocal advocates for rejoining the Iran nuclear agreement, working alongside a coalition of left-leaning groups, including the Open Society Foundations. MoveOn describes itself as a “challenge to America,” claiming victories in progressive advocacy, including its support for the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
In the wake of the U.S. strikes, Win Without War issued a powerful statement, warning that such actions reflect the President’s “perception of himself as a would-be king.” The organization criticized Congress for failing to halt the military actions, stating that “Congress failed one of its most basic duties” by not preventing the strikes on Iran.
Despite branding itself as a “national grassroots organization,” Win Without War has received substantial funding from Soros-backed entities. Grant disclosures show that the organization secured over $2 million in grants from the Open Society Policy Center alone, with $600,000 awarded in both 2020 and 2022, plus an additional $1 million in 2024.
The Open Society Foundations has also heavily invested in Win Without War’s parent organization, the Center for International Policy (CIP), contributing nearly $4.9 million since 2016. CIP claims to prioritize a peaceful, just, and sustainable U.S. foreign policy while rejecting funding from the U.S. government or private corporations.
The rapid mobilization of these activist groups underscores the growing influence of Soros-funded organizations in shaping public discourse on foreign military interventions. The financial backing has enabled them to organize swiftly and effectively, capturing media attention and public support.
With protests already taking place across the nation, the situation continues to develop. Activists are calling for continued demonstrations and advocacy against military actions in Iran, signaling a significant moment in the U.S. anti-war movement.
Stay tuned for updates as more details emerge about the ongoing protests and the financial mechanisms behind them. The implications of these mobilizations could reshape the conversation around U.S. foreign policy and military engagement.
