Activist group led by Ginni Thomas received nearly $600,000 in anonymous donations

A little-known conservative activist group led by Virginia #Ginni #Thomas, the wife of #SupremeCourt Justice #Clarence Thomas, collected nearly $600,000 in #anonymous #donations to wage a cultural battle against the left over three years, a Washington Post investigation found.

The previously unreported donations to the fledgling group #Crowdsourcers for #Culture and #Liberty were #channeled through a right-wing think tank in Washington that agreed to serve as a funding #conduit from 2019 until the start of last year, according to documents and interviews.

The arrangement, known as a “#fiscal #sponsorship,” effectively shielded from public view details about Crowdsourcers’ activities and spending, information it would have had to disclose publicly if it operated as a separate nonprofit organization, experts said.

‼️ Do you work for a city or town that has changed its approach to divvying up #StreetSpace as a result of the #COVID19 #pandemic? If so, we need to hear from you!

Since the beginning of the pandemic (3 years ago!) a small team of researchers--with help from an army of volunteer #CrowdSourcers around the world--has been documenting the ways in which city streets evolved to meet changing demands for public space. 🧵
