Charles Koch funded eviction push while investing in real estate companies

[Cinnabar]

Between 2017 and 2019, Koch’s foundation contributed almost $7.7m to three conservative US groups leading court battle

Billionaire Charles Koch’s foundation has bankrolled three conservative legal groups leading the court battle to eliminate prohibitions against tenant evictions during the COVID-19 outbreak. At the same time, Koch’s corporate empire has suddenly stepped up its real estate purchases during the pandemic — including making large investments in real estate companies with a potential financial interest in eliminating eviction restrictions.

In the last few months, the Texas Public Policy Foundation, the Pacific Legal Foundation, and the New Civil Rights Alliance have been pushing federal courts to strike down the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) eviction moratorium, which is designed to protect millions of Americans from being thrown out of their homes during the pandemic. The groups have so far won two rulings.

Between 2017 and 2019, the Charles Koch Foundation contributed almost $7.7 million to those three conservative organizations, according to the foundation’s tax returns reviewed by the Daily Poster.

This is a cancer on our society. The USA is probably currently the most corrupt nation in the world and should be officially renamed...

THE UNITED CORPORATIONS OF AMERICA
