The new executive director of a liberal dark money teaching group meant to oppose conservative-led school reforms ahead of the midterms has repeatedly called for defunding the police.

Heather Harding celebrated her new role as executive director at Campaign for Our Shared Future on Monday, tweeting, "It’s an incredible opportunity to be leading this organization that’s been on the frontlines of the fight for equity and inclusion in public education."

Campaign for Our Shared Future, which identifies itself as a grassroots and non-partisan endeavor, is part of one of the most famous left-wing dark money networks in the United States. Its initiation follows conservative parents shooting school board meetings in numerous states over what they say is their local schools teaching critical race theory and gender ideology to children.

Harding told Politico on Monday that the group has already garnered $9 million and has identified 15 states where it plans to operate during the midterms and in 2024, including Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

According to Social Blade, a social media analytics tool, Harding has removed 2,588 tweets over the last week.

Multiple tweets that remain active on Harding’s account slam law enforcement as irredeemable and inhumane.

"#Defundthepolice There is nothing else that will work, y'all," Harding tweeted during the national George Floyd unrest on June 5, 2020. "We need to start again from scratch."

"Stop calling them law enforcement--they haven't followed a damn law yet! #Stopkillingus #Defundthepolice," she wrote in a subsequent tweet.

"Defund the police. Fund schools," Harding declared on May 31, 2020.

According to Washington, D.C. business records, Campaign for Our Shared Future, the group's 501(c)(3) educational arm, is financially supported by the New Venture Fund. Meanwhile, Campaign for Our Shared Future Action Fund, its 501(c)(4) advocacy arm, falls under the Sixteen Thirty Fund. The funds registered the respective groups in early May.

The New Venture Fund and Sixteen Thirty Fund are nonprofit incubators headed by the D.C.-based Arabella Advisors consulting firm. The funds each provide their tax and legal status to dozens of left-wing nonprofits that fall under their auspices. Due to this setup, the groups they fiscally sponsor are exempt from providing tax records to the IRS, further shielding information such as their finances from the public.

The Arabella Advisors-managed dark money network, including other nonprofit fiscal sponsors such as the Windward Fund, Hopewell Fund and North Fund, pulled in an astronomical $1.6 billion in cash from deep-pocketed Democratic donors in 2020, their most recent tax records show.
