From Fox News: One of the nation’s most prominent teachers unions funneled millions of dollars in union funds to far-left activist groups, ballot initiatives and social justice organizations, according to federal labor filings.
A November Form L-2 disclosure from the National Education Association (NEA) filed in November and obtained by the North American Values Institute (NAVI) shows 2024 fiscal year spending that involved millions given to social justice-oriented groups and far-left causes.
The NEA, which boasts more than 3 million members, sent $300,000 to the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a liberal dark money group Fox News Digital has reported on extensively, and tens of thousands of dollars to the Tides Foundation network, which Fox News Digital previously reported has ties to anti-Israel protests and a variety of far left causes.
Among the largest expenditures was more than $3.5 million sent to Education International, a global teachers federation where NEA President Becky Pringle serves as a vice president. The filing also details hundreds of thousands of dollars flowing to organizations backing ballot initiatives aimed at reshaping education policy and election laws in states, including Ohio, Massachusetts, Arizona and Wisconsin.
Additional expenditures included:
- $500,000 to support a campaign to end standardized testing in Massachusetts
- $500,000 to back an anti-gerrymandering amendment in Ohio
- $500,000 to a progressive political consulting firm specializing in ballot initiatives and canvassing
- $166,000 to Imagine Us LLC, a consulting firm focused on racial equity training
- $350,000 to the Schott Foundation, a “BIPOC-led public fund that pools philanthropic funding and fuels racial and education justice movements.”
The far-left NEA also shelled out tens of thousands more to groups promoting what they describe as “social justice education,” including curriculum materials centered on race, gender identity, and activism in K-12 classrooms.

Meanwhile, four days after President Donald Trump was inaugurated back into the Oval Office last year, the NEA bailed out of X and announced they were moving over to the BlueSky social media platform, which is primarily used by the radical left.
As we continue to champion public education and advocate for the needs of our students and educators, we’re moving to a platform that prioritizes safety, inclusivity, and meaningful engagement. Follow us on @Bluesky: https://t.co/RqfqeOcoA8 pic.twitter.com/6cvFM1IThD
