    The Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros and chaired by Alex Soros, do not support or fund violent protests. Allegations to the contrary are false, and the threats against our founder and chair are outrageous. Our mission is to advance human rights, justice, and

    Hi Candace, Mr. Soros and the Open Society Foundations oppose all violence and do not pay people to protest. We lament the effort, through baseless allegations, to distract from the crisis of police brutality in Minneapolis and in too many other parts of the country.

    Our statement in response to reporting that the Trump Administration is directing investigations without evidence into our operations.
    The Open Society Foundations unequivocally condemn terrorism and do not fund terrorism. Our activities are peaceful and lawful, and our grantees are expected to abide by human rights principles and comply with the law. These accusations are politically motivated attacks on civil society, meant to silence speech the administration disagrees with and undermine the First Amendment right to free speech. When power is abused to take away the rights of some people, it puts the rights of all people at risk. Our work in the United States is dedicated to strengthening democracy and upholding constitutional freedoms. We stand by the work we do to improve lives in the United States and across the world.

    President Trump: Your tweet is incorrect—Mr. Soros does not pay people to protest—and insulting to the many women making their voices heard. We support the right to protest, enshrined in the 1st Amendment, and are shocked a sitting president does not share the Founders’ view.

    Although @SteveKingIA has deleted his tweet that attempted to falsely portray our deputy chair Alexander Soros as the whistleblower, his continued attempts to intimidate and harass the whistleblower are reprehensible.

    .@SteveKingIA is circulating false information, claiming Alexander Soros, our deputy chair, is the whistleblower. He is not. Attempts to out the whistleblower violate protections put in place to help people in government root out waste, fraud, and abuse. osf.to/2Xjb3aL

    Hi Roseanne, Mr. Soros did not work with the Nazis. When he was a teen, he and his family resisted the Nazi occupation of Hungary: osf.to/2HyGqVF. Some more facts about him and us: osf.to/2pr0eVs
