The Ford Foundation will commit $80 million over the next five years to work that strengthens nonprofits fighting against authoritarian regimes.... . ... Through Weaving Resilience, Ford wants to strengthen the civil-society “ecosystem” and foster the development of hundreds of vital organizations.... .. . The grants come as democracy and free expression seem to be faltering across the globe. Basic liberties declined in 2021 for the 16th straight year, according to the Freedom in the World report from Freedom House, a group that works to promote democracy worldwide.... .. ..

“There is never a shortfall of interventions on the side of foundations doing institutional strengthening efforts but that all of them ultimately always fall short,” she said.

.. Hmmmm.

Good. The first thing they can “fight” is the DemonRAT Pary.

[z3n]

Wait. Is this really meant to promote true freedom and democracy and fight authoritarian regimes, or is this code for supporting globalism in the way that $0r0$ does

[rktman]

So finally one of the big foundations is recognizing the threat of the demokkkommies? Oh! Never mind. 😵‍💫🤬

[G Larry]

Call me when the Ford Foundation quits funding Democrats and their Socialist programs.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Ford can spend all it wants. They’ll never civilize the Neanderthals on the left.

[CarmichaelPatriot]

Like the United Nations?

[epluribus_2]

You mean like forcing citizens to stop using reliable, affordable fuel for personal transportation to Forward(tm) the goals of dubious green zealots and high-density living, mass transportation-craven urbanization bigots?

[Bayard]

Good Yeomen’s work is following the money on these kinds of monetary endorsements.

I have no skill for that.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Their only goal will be to suppress “disinformation,” AKA speech that threatens the official narrative.

[Rappini]

Ford Motor Co is not associated with the Ford Foundation.

[ConservativeMind]

The Ford Foundation is extremely liberal, so this will be used against Trump-like leaders.

[PGR88]

The Ford Foundation is one of the most “woke” and leftist large NGOs/funds there is

[ChessExpert]

A rhetorical question I assume.

[chopperk]

Ford should use the money to do a better design on their trucks.

Then why
are you doing the same thing expecting a different outcome ?

I think I see the problem.

the civil-society “ecosystem

ec·o·sys·tem

a biological

community of interacting

organisms

and their physical environment.

I don’t think Ford actually knows what the words

civil-
society

mean.

ecosystem

[mad_as_he$$]

+. Same here.

[Carriage Hill]

The same Ford Foundation who’s given many, many millions to the corrupt racist scum at BLM?
