FULL PICTURE OF WHAT IS AT STAKE FOR AMERICA
WND EXCLUSIVE
TRAYVON MARTIN PROTEST LEADERS REVEALED
'Grassroots' group actually front for shady
figures
Published: 2 days ago
Dream Defenders, the main group that
has been agitating the protest movement surrounding the Trayvon Martin case,
was spawned by activists employed by a who’s who of
the race-hijacking radical left.
From
the socialist-oriented SEIU union to ACORN to Occupy to a litany of George
Soros-funded organizations,
the deep connections behind Dream Defenders raises questions
about the motivation of an organization that claims to be a grassroots effort
working to oppose racism.
Dream Defenders has been leading Martin
protests since the onset and has been credited with agitating for George
Zimmerman’s arrest.
The group was behind the protests that
blockaded the Sanford Police Department, demanding the police chief be fired
for failing to bring charges against Zimmerman, who was acquitted of
second-degree murder Saturday.
The small Community
Relations Service at Eric Holder’s Justice Department facilitated a meeting between Dream Defenders and city
officials that resulted in a Justice review of the police department.
Sanford police chief Bill Lee was ultimately
fired. Lee has claimed he was dismissed for not arresting Zimmerman.
Dream Defenders further
led protests and marches demanding Zimmerman’s arrest. Just prior to
Zimmerman’s arrest in April 2012, the
Justice Department reportedly phoned Dream Defenders to inform the
group that Zimmerman was to be arrested within 48 hours.
The group is now organizing
protests in the wake of Zimmerman’s acquittal. On Tuesday, Dream Defenders
demonstrated outside the Seminole County Capitol building and other locations.
Dream Defenders bills itself as a
nonviolent sustainable network of youth and student leaders fighting for social
change. The group says it trains youth and students in civil disobedience,
direct action and civic engagement.
The
group is made up of students and recent graduates from several Florida
universities and is openly backed by SEIU, the ACLU and the Soros-supported Southern
Poverty Law Center.
The groups have held joint initiatives
on many occasions. In January, for example, Dream Defenders, the ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law
Center held a community town hall in Tallahassee “to
discuss the issue of keeping our children in the school system and out of the
juvenile justice system.”
Dream Defenders’ ties to these are
other radical groups go much deeper.
WND found that Gabriel
Pendas, Dream Defenders’ organizer, is also employed as
“Lead Organizer” by the SEIU. Pendas has been organizing Dream Defenders’
marches for Martin.
Pendas, who openly identifies as a
socialist, previously served as president of the heavily Soros-backed United
States Student Association.
The student association is a member of the
small Free Exchange on Campus, a group created to oppose the efforts of
conservatives who speak at American college campuses. The group seems to mostly
focus on opposing the campus education initiatives of former radical David
Horowitz.
The far-left
Rootscamp.com wrote that without Pendas “there would be no Dream Defenders.”
Continued the website: “With his leadership,
within months, a sprawling organization uniting black and brown youth across
the state was formed. We have now built the structure necessary to develop
youth leadership while also directly challenging racial injustice, the
prison-industrial complex, and the criminalization of minority communities.”
Meanwhile, Dream Defenders’
political director is Ciara Taylor, who also serves as campaign coordinator
for the ACLU. She previously was community outreach liaison at the Southern
Poverty Law Center.
A Dream Defender
founder is Phillip B. Agnew, who also serves as the group’s executive
director. Agnew is also listed as a paid SEIU organizer.
Nelini
Stamp is a Dream Defenders director. In 2011, Stamp served as an organizer for the ACORN
front group Working Families Party.
Stamp
was interviewed as one of the earliest Occupy Wall Street organizers.
“We are
actually trying to change the capitalist system we have today, because it’s not
working for any of us,”
Stamp said.
Stamp
participated in the “Take Back the Dream” movement with Van Jones, the
infamous former “green” jobs adviser to President Obama.
In a November 2012 piece
she wrote for Prospect.org, Stamp hailed the organizing efforts of
something called the Midwest Academy.
“The Midwest
Academy and the Highlander Research and Education Center train organizers, but
we have nothing like them in most states and localities. By 2016 and 2020,
several more states will have become majority-minority, and we need to be able
to shape that change,” she wrote.
Midwest
is an activist organization described as teaching the tactics of direct action,
confrontation and intimidation as advocated by notorious
radical community organizer Saul Alinsky.
WND
was first to expose that Obama himself funded the Midwest
Academy when he served on the board of the Chicago Woods Fund from 1999 to
December 2002 alongside unrepentant Weatherman terrorist Bill Ayers.
