Washington – Win Without War Executive Director Sara Haghdoosti made the following statement in response to reports that the Trump administration plans to investigate Open Society Foundations: 

“We condemn Trump’s attempt to silence dissent and weaken civil liberties by launching a politically motivated investigation into the Open Society Foundations. Trump’s politicized investigation shows just how much this administration feels its authoritarian project is threatened by Open Society Foundations’ work to defend democracy and civil liberties, and is a reminder of why we must stand in solidarity with those who land in Trump’s crosshairs. 

“We must all call out this baseless investigation for what it is: An authoritarian attempt to quash dissent.”
