A New York City nonprofit that received more than $12 million from Goldman Sachs' charitable arm encouraged anti-Israel activists to re-create the violent protests of "the summer of 2020," just hours before rioters stormed and occupied a building on Columbia University’s campus.
More than 100 masked and keffiyeh-clad activists convened in the People’s Forum’s Manhattan office Monday evening to plan their next moves as anti-Israel protests reach a fever pitch across the country. The meeting, which was scheduled to start at 6:45 p.m., was delayed to give protesters from Columbia time to make it downtown.
The "Volunteer Meeting," which the Washington Free Beacon attended via Zoom, concluded at 9:30 p.m. following "break out sessions" that focused on organizing new methods of "resistance." A few hours later activists smashed the windows of Columbia’s Hamilton Hall and barricaded themselves inside.
The People’s Forum, a registered charity that describes itself as "a movement incubator for working class and marginalized communities," has been a mainstay at anti-Israel protests since Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack on the Jewish state.
The People’s Forum’s operations are made possible in large part by a $12 million donation from Goldman Sachs’s charitable arm. The source of that money is likely Neville Roy Singham, a communist who has "long admired Maoism."
