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.

Our statement in response to reporting that the Trump Administration is directing investigations without evidence into our operations.

We’re excited to launch The Democracy Project @nyulaw.bsky.social — led by Professors Bob Bauer, Samuel Issacharoff & Richard Pildes.

A new initiative bringing voices across the political spectrum to explore the challenges facing democracy at home & abroad.
