The Arizona Free Enterprise Club, in partnership with the Liberty Network, has released a landmark report exposing a billion-dollar left-wing political machine quietly reshaping Arizona. “Arizona’s Liberal NGO Syndicate Report” details how donor-advised funds, national dark-money intermediaries, and teachers’ unions funnel massive sums into local groups to influence elections, ballot campaigns, litigation, and media narratives, often with little transparency.
The report shows that this network is strategically designed to create lasting political infrastructure, rather than merely supporting short-term electoral victories. National donors, including Fidelity Charitable, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, channel over $1 billion into intermediaries like Arabella Advisors/Sunflower Services, Tides Nexus, and Soros/Wyss-backed networks.
According to the report, these funds are then deployed to Arizona-based organizations such as One Arizona, LUCHA, ACE, Chispa, AZ Mirror, and Copper Courier to carry out voter-registration drives, litigation campaigns, and media influence efforts.
Meanwhile, teachers’ unions provide year-round organizing infrastructure and contributing millions in campaign support, ensuring the Left’s influence is continuous and resilient.
Report highlight:
The unions are not a side operation but are woven directly into the fabric of the Left’s political network. National union money fuels Arizona’s campaigns and advocacy efforts, while local education dollars sustain the infrastructure between cycles. The AEA’s organizing capacity, data sharing, and physical footprint link effortlessly with the same groups and Intermediaries funded through Arabella, Tides, and their donor-advised pipelines. What results is a single, coordinated ecosystem where unions provide the steady heartbeat keeping staff, systems, and strategy alive even during periods when other parts of the network lie dormant.
“This isn’t activism, it’s a professional, tax-advantaged political operation designed to look local but controlled from afar,” the Club said. “Arizona isn’t changing—it’s being engineered. Conservatives need a clear roadmap, strong counter-infrastructure, and strategic engagement to protect the state’s future and preserve local control.”
