The Open Society Policy Center organization, founded by George Soros, has funded two left-wing platforms that seek the Hispanic vote in the country with at least $35 million. According to records published on the official Open Society website, in 2022 it granted $18,862,000 to Equis Labs and $16,638,000 to Equis Institute.

In the grant description, Open Society explains that the organizations were chosen because of their purpose "to support its social welfare activities to further Latinx participation in democracy." Soros' organization insists that it is working "to build vibrant and inclusive democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens."

The vast majority of the grants made by Open Society are to organizations, but we also award a limited number of grants to individuals through fellowships offered across a number of different programs.

"The X embodies the complex intersection of identities"

On the Equis website, they refer to Latinos as "Latinx," a term that progressives insist on using to refer to the Hispanic community because they consider it to be more "inclusive." It is a word that is rejected by more than 98% of the Hispanic community. A survey conducted by the Bienvenido organization with polling firm WPA Intelligence revealed that only 1% of likely Hispanic voters want to be called Latinx (with the letter 'x' referencing the neutral pronoun extended by woke impositions).

"This is meant to invoke Latinos as the x-factor in American politics and society. The X embodies the complex intersection of identities that point to the future of our country," says the Equis Institute web platform.

In addition, the website explains that Equis Labs creates a "home for ideas, learnings, and leaders that have the potential to massively increase Latinx civic participation and build power. We focus on three areas: research, innovation, and leadership."

"Biden saved my business"

In 2022 before the midterm elections, Equis Labs published a document explaining to the Democratic Party how to campaign to win the Hispanic vote. The document not only indicated which topics are of interest to Latinos but also explained what types of messages should appear in electoral advertisements.

"In 2014 I started my arepa truck business in Washington, DC. Three years later, I opened my first restaurant. When COVID-19 hit, it was difficult to support my family. When President Biden and Democrats in Congress made the PPP process more accessible to small business owners like me, it saved my business and helped me support my family. We need more leaders in Washington who understand what we have been experiencing and who take steps to improve our lives," reads one of the testimonies recorded in the video.

Hispanic voters are turning their backs on Democrats

Soros' investment in Equis in the organizations, which will be distributed over at least four years, comes at a time when the Democratic Party is losing support among Hispanics. In the last election, Democrats lost part of the Latino vote, while Republicans grew slowly in this group.

"In November, 60% of Hispanic voters cast ballots for Democrats compared with 39% who supported Republicans. This 21-point margin is smaller than in 2018 when 72% of Hispanic voters favored Democrats and 25% supported Republicans," a Pew Research survey explained.

The Axios-Ipsos poll also agrees that Hispanics are walking away from Democrats. In fact, Latinos value managing the economy when Republicans govern. "More Latinos continue to favor the Democratic Party, but their allegiance is drifting. Some Latinos signal growing differences on cultural issues and crime — and give Republicans an edge in handling the economy," Axios said.

It is estimated that at least 34 million Hispanic people will be able to vote in the next elections. However, 32% of them expressed that neither Republicans nor Democrats care about Latinos, which means that the candidates will have to run a campaign focused on winning the Latino vote.
