The NDN Collective, which refers to the United States as an “enemy” and a “so-called country,” is helping administer $100 million in funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Inflation Reduction Act.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, released a new report as part of the committee’s ongoing oversight of the Democrats’ $1.6 trillion Inflation Reduction Act.

The report is titled “Investment in Radical Activists: A Case Study on the NDN Collective Supported by the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act” and highlights anti-American statements and positions from the NDN Collective, a radical activist group set to administer $100 million in taxpayer money from the EPA.

“In our oversight of the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act, we’ve found over and over again that the law is quietly bankrolling extremist groups like the NDN Collective that openly advocate for anti-American, anti-police, and anti-Semitic causes, which have nothing to do with protecting the environment,” Ranking Member Capito said. “The American people deserve to know the truth about how the Biden administration is spending their money, and we will continue to follow where that money goes, exposing the indefensible positions held by the groups that are benefiting along the way.”

In December 2023, EPA announced NDN Collective as a partner group to help administer two grants of $50 million each.

The NDN Collective has stated as official positions:

·        “We do support defunding the police and U.S. military”

·        The United States is a “so-called country” and an “enemy” that must be held “accountable”

·         “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free”

Other radical groups benefiting from IRA previously exposed by Ranking Member Capito include:

·        On May 21, Ranking Member Capito highlighted Climate Justice Alliance as an anti-Semitic pro-Hamas group set to receive $50 million from IRA.

o   The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board wrote more about this group.

·        On June 12, Ranking Member Capito highlighted New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice and New York Immigration Coalition as radical anti-borders groups set to help administer $50 million from IRA.

o   The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board wrote more about these groups.
