Meet the Jewish woman steering one of Americas largest and most influential liberal donor groups
Politico called the Democracy Alliance, one of the countrys major liberal donor groups, secretive. The conservative Washington Free Beacon called it George Soross shadowy dark money donor club.
But the groups new president, Pamela Shifman, says shes all about shining a light on what she calls threats to democracy, right-wing antisemitism and other issues.
The Democracy Alliance raises money in support of organizations the group says works to advance a progressive agenda. Unlike some other liberal fundraising groups such as MoveOn that cite large numbers of donors, the Democracy Alliance focuses on major giving only: Donors must commit to giving at least $200,000 per year to enter. The group boasts Tom Steyer, Susie Tompkins Buell and, yes, left-wing megadonor George Soros among its members but most of its donors are anonymous.
Shifman, who comes from a family of liberal Jewish activists, said she is not happy with the role of anonymous or dark money in political giving. But she is also not ready to give it up yet.

I wonder if she has been "properly" vetted.
