According to the report, the Pritzkers founded the Libra Foundation, a group that funds smaller, more narrow nonprofits, many of which have been active in the anti-Israel protests. 

One such group, the report said, is The Climate Justice Alliance, which has taken part in marches and used the term "Genocide Joe" to criticize President Biden and his approach to Israel's ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza.

Another is Black Organizing for Leadership and Dignity, which, according to Politico, has promoted anti-Israel demonstrations, and another is the Immigrant Defense Project, which participated in a protest in Washington, D.C., earlier this year that ended in a number of arrests.

The Pritzkers, alongside liberal billionaire George Soros, are also funders of the Tides Foundation, a left-wing organization that funds other small progressive groups, including Adalah Justice Project, a participant in the protest at Columbia University that was broken up last week.

In addition to the DCCC and House Majority PAC, the list of Democrats receiving money from the Pritzkers includes Reps. Mary Peltola, D-Alaska, Mike Levin, D-Calif., Eric Sorensen, D-Ill., Sharice Davids, D-Kan., Gabe Vasquez, D-N.M., Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, Susan Wild, D-Pa., Matt Cartwright, D-Pa., Chris Deluzio, D-Pa., and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash.
