American Federation of Teachers nonprofit funding

Overview

Department of Labor filings indicate that the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) has allocated significant funding to several left-leaning nonprofit organizations and advocacy groups.

Reported contributions include $250,000 to the Center for American Progress, along with $100,000 each to Emily’s List, the National Action Network, and the American Prospect. The union also provided $75,000 to the Bill, Hillary, & Chelsea Clinton Foundation and $10,000 to the Human Rights Campaign.

Michael Watson, a research director at the Capital Research Center, described these expenditures as ‘political advocacy by another name,’ suggesting the funds support a network intended to advance specific policy developments and political causes.
