InfluenceWatch Friday
InfluenceWatch, a project of Capital Research Center, is a comprehensive and ever-evolving compilation of our research into the numerous advocacy groups, foundations, and donors working to influence the public policy process. The website offers transparency into these influencers’ funding, motives, and connections while providing insight often neglected by other watchdog groups.
The information compiled in InfluenceWatch gives news outlets and other interested parties research to use in reporting on significant topics that are often overlooked by the American public.
CRC is pleased to present some of the most significant additions to InfluenceWatch in the past week:

The initiative previously received funding from several left-of-center organizations including the Crossroads Fund, the Conant Family Foundation, and the MacArthur Foundation. The initiative was a former fiscal project of the Alliance for Global Justice, a controversial left-of-center organization that has fiscally sponsored radical groups including Samidoun, which in 2024 was designed by the United States and Canada as a “sham charity that serves as an international fundraiser for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization.”
- CLEAN Carwash Workers Center is a labor advocacy group created to organize hand-carwash employees in Los Angeles. The group was founded in 2007 as a joint campaign between United Steelworkers Local 675 (USW 675) and the AFL-CIO and is fiscally sponsored by the Korean Immigrant Workers Advocates of Southern California.

The coalition was listed as a “Partner“ group for promoting and organizing the “No Kings” protest movements that occurred in June 2025 nationwide to advocate against policies set by the Second Trump Administration. Several of the coalition’s union affiliates include the American Postal Workers Union (APWU), the California School Employees Association, the National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW), and several state chapters of the AFL-CIO.
- New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice (NJAIJ) is a coalition of advocacy groups that promote left-of-center immigration policies including the creation of a “reparations taskforce.” Formerly a fiscal project of NEO Philanthropy, the organization was listed as an organizer of the national “No Kings” movement on June 14, 2025, which led to nationwide protests against policies set by the Second Trump Administration. According to its website, the NJAIJ executive committee includes local chapters of the SEIU and ACLU as well as Make the Road New Jersey, New Jersey Communities United, and the New Jersey Working Families Party.
- NextGen California Action is a state-level advocacy group which promotes left-of-center policies for California. The group is affiliated with NextGen Climate America (NextGen Policy), a climate advocacy initiative founded by billionaire Tom Steyer and has received donations from left-of-center groups including the Energy Action Fund, the United States Energy Foundation, the Tides Foundation, the San Francisco Foundation, and the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
