Exclusive | Lefty billionaire George Soros funneled $7 M to groups pushing woke bills that could spring NYs worst killers, including Son of Sam

Far-left billionaire George Soros has funneled more than $7 million to groups behind an Albany lobbying effort to pass a pair of woke parole bills that critics warn could lead to the freeing of “Son of Sam” serial killer David Berkowitz and other infamous murderers.Soros’ grant-making network gave at least $7.1 million since 2016 to eight of 15 organizations that are founding members of a purported “grassroots coalition” called “The People’s Campaign for Parole Justice,” Open Society Foundation records reveal.The campaign sanitizes the idea of releasing hardened murderers and rapists by calling it “decarceration and family reunification” — and lobbies the state Legislature to pass the potentially devastating Fair and Timely Parole and Elder Parole bills.Soros’s network didn’t give directly to the campaign, but funneled megabucks into its founding organizations, including $3.2 million to FWD.us, which was created by Mark Zuckerberg and other Silicon Valley tech leaders in 2013 to fight for criminal justice and immigration reform.Zuckerberg reportedly stopped funding FWD.us last year as part of his more rightward shift since Donald Trump became president.

Other founding members that received Soros money include Voices of Community Activists & Leaders (VOCAL) New York ($1.7 million), Legal Aid Society ($1.6 million), Center for Community Alternative ($250,000), Release Aging People in Prison ($180,000), Parole Preparation Project ($135,000), New York Civil Liberties Union ($100,000) and New York Communities for Change ($74,995).The far-left kingmaker has poured more than $40 million over the past decade into supporting soft-on-crime candidates in district attorney races nationwide — and hundreds of millions of dollars more into organizations backing so-called “social justice” prosecutor candidates running on platforms aimed at reducing jail population, according to the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation.“Only” Soros-b...
