The 501(c)(3) tax exempt Thousand Currents and ActBlue Charities are supporting Black Lives Matter (BLM) Global Network, which is campaigning openly against President Trump on its website and also in other venues. BLM leader Patrisse Cullors said openly in a CNN interview, "Trump not only needs to not be in office in November but he should resign now. Trump needs to be out of office. He is not fit for office." "…we are going to push for is a move to get Trump out… Our goal is to get Trump out." 501(c)(3) resources cannot be used legally to influence an election.
A response to the tweet with the Cullors interview says, "Thanks, sending this tweet to the IRS so they can see BLM's 501(c)(3) status should be removed." (BLM itself is not tax exempt, but Thousand Currents and ActBlue Charities are.) Another person posted a screen shot of IRS rules, while another added, "So they want tax exempt status, but they are going to pull this?" People can act on this information via Form 13909. California, where Thousand Currents and the Tides Foundation are domiciled, uses Form CT9, "Complaint to The California Attorney General Regarding a Charity or Charitable Solicitation."
The very end (last ten seconds) of this Cullors video says, “We get Trump out of office by leading with bold and creative action.” There is more than ample evidence that BLM is therefore using tax-exempt resources from Thousand Currents, ActBlue Charities and, as of July, the Tides Foundation, to influence the election.

Isn’t Bill Gates part of the Tides Foundation?
Lois Lerner is on this stat! Trey Gowdy and Lindsey Graham are calling talking head shows as I write . . sternly written letters to follow!
End tax exemptions for foundations and charities. Put a mandatory sunset on foundation of 20 years.

9 Aug: Canada Free Press: Democrats’ Cavalry: OWS Activists To Launch 50-Day September Siege of White House
By Judi McLeod
Unhinged Canadian activists who founded the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, through their parent company AdBusters, intend to lay siege to the White House for the last 50 days leading up to the Nov. 3 American presidential election...
Meanwhile, ‘someone’ must have tipped OWS off that the border will be open by Sept. 17.
