Meet the Jewish woman guiding one of the US' largest liberal donor groups
Melding Jewish expression with social justice was embedded in her upbringing in suburban Detroit, Shifman said, where she grew up in a Conservative Jewish home.
OCTOBER 26, 2021
Politico called the Democracy Alliance, one of the country's major liberal donor groups, "secretive." The conservative Washington Free Beacon called it "George Soros's shadowy dark money donor club."
But the group's new president, Pamela Shifman, says she's all about shining a light - on what she calls threats to democracy, right-wing antisemitism and other issues.
The Democracy Alliance raises money in support of organizations the group says works to "advance a progressive agenda." Unlike some other liberal fundraising groups such as MoveOn that cite large numbers of donors, the Democracy Alliance focuses on major giving only: Donors must commit to giving at least $200,000 per year to enter. The group boasts Tom Steyer, Susie Tompkins Buell and, yes, left-wing megadonor George Soros among its members - but most of its donors are anonymous.
