A coalition of about 500 activist groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenues is behind the nationwide #NoKings protests, according to a Fox News Digital investigation. Among these groups are radical socialist and communist organizations that plan to use the demonstrations to promote a message of “revolution.”
The lead coordinator of the flagship march in St. Paul, Minnesota, is Indivisible, a well-funded Democratic political advocacy group supported by billionaire George Soros. However, the investigation uncovered significant involvement from a network of Marxist-aligned organizations financially backed by American tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, who resides in China and openly endorses communist ideology.
For nearly a decade, Singham has supported several activist institutions that advocate revolutionary socialist politics. Key groups in this network include the People’s Forum in New York, the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), the ANSWER Coalition, and CodePink—co-founded by Singham’s wife, Jodie Evans. These organizations frequently collaborate and participated in organizing the #NoKings protests.
Members of Singham’s network are actively distributing protest materials. For example, the Twin Cities chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation prepared stacks of red signs reading “NO KINGS. NO WAR.” ahead of the main protest at the Minnesota state capitol. Similar preparations have taken place across the country.
The People’s Forum called for participation in New York’s #NoKings demonstration, while PSL organized a “Socialist Contingent” in Washington, D.C. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, the Freedom Road Socialist Organization instructed supporters to join an “Anti-Trump Contingent” as part of the protests. This group has a history of confrontational demonstrations and uses symbolism previously associated with Hamas attacks in Israel.
Communist activists involved in the protests have publicly discussed leveraging the demonstrations to strengthen revolutionary organizing and advance long-term goals for “people’s movements.” Internal communications circulated among these networks have urged socialists to mobilize at #NoKings, viewing it as an opportunity to promote revolutionary messages within broader protest crowds.
Why it matters
The coordination of such a large network of activist groups, funded by significant financial resources and including organizations with openly revolutionary socialist and communist agendas, highlights how the #NoKings protests are part of a larger effort to influence political discourse and activism in the United States. Understanding the financial and organizational backing behind these protests offers insight into the alliances shaping contemporary social movements.
Background
The #NoKings protests emerged as leaderless demonstrations opposed to current U.S. policies and political figures. While the movement claims to lack centralized leadership, investigative findings suggest that well-funded and ideologically driven groups play a substantial role in organizing and messaging. Neville Roy Singham’s network has been identified as a key force in promoting revolutionary socialist causes within these protests.
