For nearly 20 years, a complicated web of leftist non-profit groups has quietly, but effectively influenced presidential elections, federal judicial nominations, and issues ranging from environmental extremism, to abortion and criminal justice reform. The dark-money network’s “mothership,” as The Atlantic called it, is Arabella Advisors. In 2021, The Atlantic called Arabella’s network “the massive progressive dark-money group you’ve never heard of,” adding, “Democrats have quietly pulled ahead of Republicans in untraceable political spending. One group helped make it happen.”
