\"\"<\/a>Billionaire Democratic donor George Soros is financing an army of Gen-Z TikTokers to push his extreme left-wing causes, praise President Joe Biden, and bash conservatives, a review of public documents and social media by The Post shows.<\/p>\n

Soros\u2019 Open Society Foundation shelled out $5.5 million to the nonprofit Accelerate Action Inc. in 2020 and 2021 \u2014 which in turn gave at least $300,000 in 2022 to another nonprofit, Gen Z for Change, which boasts a network of 500 \u201cactivists, organizers, and creators,\u201d tax filings show.<\/p>\n

The woke foot soldiers regularly go into battle on behalf of abolishing border enforcement, defunding cops, and ending cash bail according to their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Throughout his term in office, President Biden has looked to Gen Z for Change and other social-media stars to sell his policy agenda.<\/p>\n

In March 2022, top White House officials briefed them on the ongoing US effort in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

They gabbed with Surgeon General Vivek Murthy about coronavirus and sat for meetings with Biden in the Oval Office, the Washington Post reported. <\/a><\/p>\n

The confabs were the subject of a Saturday Night Live Cold Open<\/a> that same month.<\/p>\n

In recognition of their contributions, Gen Z for Change was invited to the White House <\/a>to witness the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear how Gen Z for Change disperses the Soros cash to its core cadre of young influencer activists whose accounts are littered with White House and far-left talking points.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are unequivocally supportive of Medicare for all, the Green New Deal, Palestinian liberation, [and] a plethora of progressive policies that a vast majority of Gen Z supports,\u201d group founder Aidan Kohn-Murphy told his 288,000 TikTok followers in a message<\/a> Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Kohn-Murphy himself has overseen partnerships with the White House and Democratic National Committee, according to his speakers bureau<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Victoria Hammett, 24, the group\u2019s deputy executive director, frequently sounds the alarm on women\u2019s issues and reproductive rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbortion after six weeks will be banned in Iowa once the governor signs the ban,\u201d she told her 819,000 followers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there is a 13-year-old little girl who is getting abused and is too scared to or does not know how to report it, she would be forced to carry her rapist\u2019s baby to term.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conor Stayton, 20, a digital marketing strategist for the group, had sharp words for upstate GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik after a shooting in Buffalo left 10 people dead<\/a> in May 2022 \u2014\u00a0accusing her of repeating \u201cneo-nazi and white supremacist\u201d talking points.<\/p>\n

\u201cElise maybe you should keep your mouth shut,\u201d Stayton snapped in a video <\/a>that same month to his 557,000 TikTok followers.<\/p>\n

Critics said the Soros\u2019 Gen Z grunts are worrisome<\/p>\n

\u201cGeorge Soros is funding the next generation of far-left activists on a platform that is beholden to the [Chinese Communist Party],\u201d Rep. Stefanik told The Post.<\/p>\n

Roughly two-thirds of Accelerate Action\u2019s $8.3 million for 2020 and 2021 came from Soros.<\/p>\n

Accelerate Action is the only nonprofit that has donated to Gen Z for Change, according to the latest publicly available tax records.<\/p>\n

The middle-man nonprofit has little public-facing presence beyond a spartan website<\/a> with a brief mission statement that declares its purpose is to \u201cdevelop and test new models for citizen organizing, particularly in communities of color. . . and develop deep, trusted relationships that can move people to take action.\u201d<\/p>\n

No tax forms for Gen-Z for Change were publicly available on the IRS website, and Kohn-Murphy did not respond to multiple requests from The Post to provide them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that more, rather than fewer, voters, including among younger and historically marginalized communities, should be empowered to participate in America\u2019s democracy through free and fair elections. We\u2019re proud to support organizations working with new technologies to spur civic participation and help enable more inclusive, just, and open societies,\u201d an Open Society Foundations spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

Stayton, Hammett, and Accelerate Action did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n
