The summers preceding the past two major November elections were dominated by angry and hateful protests, many of which involved violence. In 2020, Black Lives Matter activists protested and rioted in the wake of the death of George Floyd. In 2022, activists threatened Supreme Court justices and attacked crisis-pregnancy centers after the Dobbs decision overturned Roe. Some organizations are fundraising to help them create another summer of rage.
From The Washington Free Beacon. A New York City nonprofit that received more than $12 million from Goldman Sachs’ charitable arm encouraged anti-Israel activists to re-create the violent protests of “the summer of 2020,” just hours before rioters stormed and occupied a building on Columbia University’s campus.
Talk about issues like these on The Community.
More than 100 masked and keffiyeh-clad activists convened in the People’s Forum’s Manhattan office Monday evening to plan their next moves as anti-Israel protests reach a fever pitch across the country. The meeting, which was scheduled to start at 6:45 p.m., was delayed to give protesters from Columbia time to make it downtown.
Once the Columbia protesters arrived, People’s Forum executive director Manolo De Los Santos urged the group to “give Joe Biden a hot summer” and “make it untenable for the politics of usual to take place in this country.” Los Santos praised Columbia students for “decid[ing] that resistance is more important than negotiations,” and urged those assembled at the People’s Forum to “support our students so that the encampments can go for as long as they can.” …
The “Volunteer Meeting,” which the Washington Free Beacon attended via Zoom, concluded at 9:30 p.m. following “break out sessions” that focused on organizing new methods of “resistance.” A few hours later activists smashed the windows of Columbia’s Hamilton Hall and barricaded themselves inside. …
The People’s Forum, a registered charity that describes itself as “a movement incubator for working class and marginalized communities,” has been a mainstay at anti-Israel protests since Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack on the Jewish state. …
The People’s Forum’s operations are made possible in large part by a $12 million donation from Goldman Sachs’s charitable arm. …
Groups like the People’s Forum stand to lose their charity status if they are found to be party to riots and violent protests, experts told the Free Beacon. The IRS’s charity guidelines state that groups may lose their charity status if they engage in “planned activities that violate laws” or “induce the commission of crime.” …
If we do see another summer of rage and violence, how will that affect the election? Share your prayers for America below.

Open your eyes América to the ideologies you have allowed into Universities and Schools!
Lord we intercede against the ignorance that dwells in America allowing so many things against your WORD!
Amen
Abba Father, as Abraham believed, and as Jesus actually did, You give life to the dead, and call those things that are not, as though they are. Romans 4:17.
* When protesters gather, make them peaceful gatherings.
* Command all protesters’ voices , no matter their words, to be only heard as ‘Jesus Loves! Jesus Lives! Jesus Saves!’
* Cause all who protest to become still in Holy awe, as Your presence is seen and perceived by even the hardest of hearts.
* Drain and convert the power of evil intent, into manifestations of Your Glory. All for your Glory. Amen
Praying for our country’s repentance and thanking Father God that He’s working every day to make the USA belong to Him again. Romans 6:10 days “ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. “ Pray every day for the Lord’s Will to be fulfilled in each of us. Live God’s way and show that there’s a difference between a Christian and a person of the world. Talk about what Jesus is doing in your life. Continue to pray for revival all over our country. Allow Jesus to work His perfect will through each one of us !! To God be the GLORY!!
We need to return to our motto, ONE NATION UNDER GOD1 God has richly blessed our nation and we need to pray for a new awakening ;with churches across our nation reaching out to their communities with the Gospel and welcoming newcomers to Faith! Our government and leaders are to be challenged to return Almighty God to a place of leadership at all levels of government!
Our leaders at all levels of government need His direction!
May God bring this to pass in our Nation!
I pray, the eyes of their hearts would be enlightened. That they would know what the hope of their calling is..
Lord, the entrance of your word brings Light. Bring the light of your presence into this situation., let it light every dark place and let it be illuminated with the light of your presence.
This is a sad thing, that half the time these protestors against Israel are not aware that in Gen. 12 where God declared to Abram that curses as well as blessings go hand in hand with Abram’s descendants. Wow to those who curse God’s chosen people.,
God speak to our leaders, our parents of students in those universities, and to the students, open their eyes soften their hearts
and help them to see that what they
are doing will destroy the future of this country, I pray that the evil ones who are responsible for this chaos will be dealt with according to Your will and soon. 2 Chronicles 7:14 applies to us today as it did in days of Solomon, our country is in trouble because of disobedience of Gods people and I am referring to believers not just unbelievers. The church has gone soft on christianity
by not preaching the word and stressing that Gods word is same today as it was when it was written and it means what it says, no changing or taking away from it. I’m praying that churches get out and pray TODAY National day of Prayer. This nation needs it like never before. May God continue to bless America.
Praise and thanks Lord, for exposing this lawless, so called charity. Lord, turn it around so they are the only ones hurt and open the eyes of the students and public to the lies and deceptions. Lord we chose life, not death, in every decision. Please pour out fresh anointing on Your people, royal priesthood, to listen for your understanding and value those speaking, even if they don’t know how to value themselves or others yet. When You give us the ‘go’ to speak, let it be truth spoken in love, real, tender hearted, unconditional love, that hopes for redemption of all.
Lord Jesus, we do bind the enemy and loose Your Holy Spirit, asking You bring a summer of Your Love, power and sound mind. For Your glory Lord. And let Your light shine around the world so all know Jesus saves.
Interesting that these protesters are masked as the article stated. They don’t want to be identified? Reminds me of the Ku Klux Klan – they too were evil cowards – doing evil but without the courage to show their faces – which should be a clue they are not doing what is right, honorable, for the good – nothing based on truth. These actions are based on lies – such as that Hamas is the victim rather than the perpetrator and the aggressor – these people are being manipulated by lies to do acts of violence and destruction and disrupt everyone else’s lives trying to get an education and to graduate. They do not have the right to take over public grounds or buildings. I think it was Camus who said – “If they can get you to believe absurdities, they can get you to commit atrocities.” we saw this in the summer of 2020 – the Truth is the antidote and the answer – the Truth is God’s Word – the Truth needs to be known – but the media consistently suppresses truth and proclaims lies – the narrative they desire to keep us divided and in chaos. Lord God, You are our only hope and You are the answer to every problem we face. May we as Your people do what You ask and “humble ourselves and pray, and seek Your face and turn from our wicked ways” – may I be diligent in doing this and join with others in prayer to You – because You alone are sovereign over the affairs of men, You alone are able to do the impossible and change the hearts of men to do right instead of wrong, good instead of evil – help me to sow peace rather than discord, unity instead of division and to hold fast to You and support Your chosen people, Israel. http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com
I dearly hope to ask one of these protesters WHY they are going to the trouble to protest against Israel.
The IRS should not allow Goldman & Sachs any charitable tax deduction, if they are supporting opposition to our country.
The rioters should not get any funds to payoff college debt.
Heavenly Father please bring those things done in secret and in the dark to light and thwart the plans of the enemy. Help America hold accountable those involved in funding or partaking in these hateful, violent and damaging protests. You are a God of order and judgment and this lawlessness must be addressed. Help our officials be strong and truly hold them accountable. Expel them from our colleges and our country. I know you desire that they would repent and turn to you Father and not perish, and only you can read their hearts as to whether that will happen. If that is not going to take place, then Father I pray your will be done as you handle their judgment.
Great prayer BJP! It is exactly what my heart prays every day. My flesh wants to ask God to destroy these evil protesters that are funded by evil mega-wealthy individuals and corporate giants. Then the Holy Spirit tells me “but for the grace of God, there go I”, and I pray the very same things that you have shared here. God Bless You! He is still in perfect control. This present chaos is His plan for the ages unfolding in real time.
