William Jacobson on the Rhode Island Foundation's Discriminatory Practices #InTheDugout - Feb 27, 2025

For decades, the radical left has quietly seized control of vital institutions across America—including right here in Rhode Island. From the courts to academia, from the media to nonprofits, this ideological capture has been funded, in part, by taxpayer dollars. But now, the counter-revolution is underway. On today's episode, we expose the latest battleground: the Rhode Island Foundation (RIF)—the state’s most powerful charity—where race-based grantmaking and left-wing influence have gone unchecked for years. Legal Insurrection's William Jacobson joins us to discuss his fight to hold the Rhode Island Foundation accountable.

With over $1 billion in assets, the Rhode Island Foundation has woven itself into every corner of Ocean State life. But under the leadership of former Congressman David Cicilline, it has doubled down on discriminatory funding practices—favoring DEI-driven grants and supporting programs that exclude applicants based on race. Jacobson's Equal Protection Project (EPP) is taking action, demanding an end to these unconstitutional practices. We also break down the broader implications of this ideological takeover, from Sheldon Whitehouse’s conflicts of interest to the national network of Soros-linked organizations steering taxpayer money toward left-wing causes.

Don’t miss this explosive episode as we uncover the grift, corruption, and radical agenda threatening Rhode Island families. Will federal agencies finally act? Is the tide turning in the fight against the left’s cultural revolution? Tune in now to find out—and join us as we work to take back our institutions, our communities, and our future.
