A new complaint requests that the federal government investigate the tax-exempt status of a left-wing nonprofit that has allegedly fomented violent riots.
The Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) filed the complaint Tuesday morning with the IRS seeking an investigation into People’s Forum, Inc., a New York-based Nongovernmental Organization (NGO) linked to socialist megadonor Neville Roy Singham. CASA’s complaint alleges that People’s Forum routinely organizes and funds protests that engage in illegal activity.
“People’s Forum Inc. is the tax-exempt fiscal sponsor of many progressive and radical organizations, including the Venceremos Brigade, which engage in demonstrations often crossing the threshold from protected speech into illegal activity, including many which have resulted in arrests, violence against police officers, and interference in federal immigration enforcement,” said CASA Director James Fitzpatrick. “We believe the many potentially illegal activities that People’s Forum has engaged in are grounds for a potential revocation of their tax-exempt charitable status. An immediate and full IRS investigation is appropriate to make this determination.”
