Is Anti-Racism Teacher Eric K. Ward Tasked with Dividing Our Community Against Itself? A post by reader Patti Munter shares Following my post from yesterday about the Dream Defenders video, around the same time, Eric K. Ward, a Portland-based self-described member of ANTIFA, and community organizer slash punk rocker, quietly co-founded Funders For Justice (a project of the Neighborhood Funders Group), organized funding conferences for BLM, and attended the BLM convening conference. Here is Ward, a comrade of the Dream Defenders, moderating a 2014 Ferguson strategy session on behalf of the Ford Foundation. Seven years later, he crisscrosses the country promoting Critical Race Theory to Jewish Studies students at Universities. He is tasked with lecturing Jews that antisemitism and White nationalism must not and cannot be separated if Progressive Values are to prevail electorally.
