The Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Chicago, Illinois. As of September 2020, the group described itself as “a team of civic technologists, trainers, researchers, election administration and data experts working to foster a more informed and engaged democracy, and helping to modernize U.S. elections.” The organization was founded in 2015.[1]

9 out of 10 of CTCL's grants went to democratic counties/who lean democrat?

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan announced on September 1 that they were providing $300 million in funding to support non-profits to provide assistance to city and county election offices, with $250 million going to CTCL and $50 million going to the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR).[3]
According to a press release, CTCL used the $250 million to support the following at the local level:[3]
- Poll worker recruitment, hazard pay, and training
- Polling place rental
- Temporary staffing support
- Drive-through voting
- Equipment to process ballots and applications
- Personal protective equipment (PPE) for poll workers
- Nonpartisan voter education from cities and counties[2]
Prior to the September 1 announcement, CTCL had announced various grants it was making to city and county election offices, but without specifying the source of the funding for this activity. In July 2020, CTCL announced it would provide $6.3 million in grants to five cities in Wisconsin to support their administration of the November 2020 elections.[4] In August, CTCL announced that it was preparing an additional round of election administration assistance grants for rural counties.[5] In August, CTCL signed a grant agreement with the City of Philadelphia to provide it with $10 million in election assistance.[6] CTCL also provided $2.2 million in election assistance to Delaware County.[6]
Several counties in Georgia, including DeKalb, were also working with the National Vote at Home Institute and CTCL to support their election administration

Amistad Project: Time To Fully Unmask Mark Zuckerberg’s $350 Million Funnelled For Election Administration And The Motivation Behind It
Oct 28, 2020, 08:30 ET
AMHERST, Va., Oct. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In conjunction with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s appearance before the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee today, and to promote election integrity and transparency, the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society challenged Mr. Zuckerberg to disclose where his $350 million for election administration is going and why.
Mark Zuckerberg has contributed $350 million to the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), a left leaning organization that has been providing these funds to towns, cities, and counties for election administration, via contributions to their general funds. The largest, public donations have gone overwhelmingly to strongly Democratic areas, as documented below.
“Mark Zuckerberg is providing nearly as much money to this year’s election administration as the federal government,” said Phill Kline, Director of The Amistad Project, which has supported federal lawsuits to dispute the application of the Zuckerberg funds. “The American people have a right to know what has driven him to take this extraordinary action, and where all the money is going,” said Kline.
Key questions for Mr. Zuckerberg include the following.
– When and how did Mr. Zuckerberg develop the plan to provide $350 million to towns, cities, and counties for elections? With whom did he discuss this? Will he share e-mails related to these discussions?
– In Philadelphia, CTCL is paying election officials to help count the vote and required the city to open no fewer than 800 new polling places. In doing so, CTCL, a private entity, is changing how an election is managed. Did the idea for attaching such strings to election funds come from Mr. Zuckerberg? To what extent has he discussed this issue with CTCL leadership and his advisers? Does he approve of this practice and if not, will he ask CTCL to stop this practice?
– David Plouffe served as Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign manager, is a long-time Democratic political consultant and served as a board member and strategist for the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Mr. Zuckerberg’s charitable organization. Mr. Plouffe also wrote the best-selling book, A Citizen’s Guide to Beating Donald Trump. What conversations has Mr. Zuckerberg and/or those on his staff had with David Plouffe and/or Mr. Plouffe’s colleagues? Was funding to CTCL specifically discussed? Will Mr. Zuckerberg share related e-mails?
– When did Mr. Zuckerberg commit to CTCL to provide his first $250 million in assistance?
– What strategic discussions has Mark Zuckerberg had with CTCL’s leadership? How does he monitor CTCL’s progress? Will he share e-mails pertaining to these matters?
CTCL Contributions Heavily Favor Democratic Areas
A study by the Amistad Project has identified CTCL’s 20 largest publicly identified donations which total $76.5 million (see Exhibit A below). All these funds went to areas that Hillary Clinton won in 2016. In fact, in these 20 areas Hillary Clinton cumulatively had 66.7% of the vote compared with Donald Trump’s 28.5%. In addition, large amounts of these grants go to Democratic areas in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
“CTCL, and municipal officials that are constitutionally-bound to manage elections under the auspices of state election offices and taxpayer funding, have an ethical duty to be fully transparent. The deliberate practice of hiding large amounts of private donations from Mr. Zuckerberg to fund a public function and distribute funds to favor select demographic areas over others in swing states is a direct violation of equal protection under the law,” said Kline.
CTCL’s Leaders Have Worked for Stridently Progressive Organizations
Though they profess to be nonpartisan in their management of CTCL and the Zuckerberg funds, CTCL’s three leaders – Tiana Epps-Johnson, Whitney May, and Donny Bridges – all worked for a stridently progressive organization, the New Organizing Institute, before joining CTCL. Executive Director Epps-Johnson also had a Fellowship with former President Obama’s Foundation. Their biographies can be found here: https://www.techandciviclife.org/our-team/. Information about the New Organizing Institute can be found here: https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/new-organizing-institute/.
Documents produced pursuant to court order and independent research reveal that strategies articulated by former campaign manager David Plouffe, who is also a former board member and strategist for Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, established the broader strategy for the Zuckerberg-CTCL funding scheme. In Plouffe’s book, “A Citizen’s Guide to Beating Donald Trump,” published on March 3, 2020, he opines that “The contest for the presidency may come down to block-by-block street fights in Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia.”
The Amistad Project, a project to preserve civil liberties, is an initiative of the Thomas More Society, a not-for-profit national public interest law firm. For more information on this and related issues, go to: got-freedom.org. The Exhibit follows.

The DOJ, FBI, CIA, and IRS have been transformed into political arms of the DemoNazi Party. Do not look to them for justice.
As you have noticed, if we are to receive any justice it is only through civil legal action, not the authorities. Their allegiance is to the DemoNazi Party. This is exactly how Hitler subverted Germany, the Nazis infiltrated and encroached on all aspects of German society until through a combination of violence, political intimidation, propaganda, and manipulation of the political system, they seized power.
We see the DemoNazi Party using the very same tactics as their German Nazi model which has been slightly altered for American consumption. The DemoNazi Propaganda Machine spews lies and disinformation 24/7. Centrally controlled, the DemoNazi Propaganda Machine is a well orchestrated organ spitting out whatever illusions that the Party wants disseminated.
We are the People. We must band together and battle the DemoNazi insurrection occurring right now. This was NOT an election, it was an insurrection. And the authorities in the Deep Swamp are in on it.
Inaction is complicity. There must be an accounting. Military tribunals and executions are demanded for crimes of this severity. If the Republic is to survive, all traitors must hang. That includes Wray, Barr, Haspel, Comey, Brennan, the Clintons et al.
Justice must be done.

Adolf was the third appointee by aged Chancellor Hindenburg to stop the Communist take over of a starving, broken, broke, raped and pillaged at gunpoint Germany via the American Globalist bankster Treaty of Versaille.
~ ie = He was installed gor the purpose of ending the Commie threat as it was planned for Germany to go Bolshevik tho the people did not want it any more then WE here do now with the Bolshevik BLM+ANTIFA Marxist’s = Globalist financed Commies same as here now.
I know for both sides of my family fled the Weimar prior to 1930 with my father in firefights with Bolshevik terrorist as a 17yr old farmboy starting in 1919.
Adolf came into that picture later after he lost his election.
It was his Brown Shirts that started cleaning out the Commies after he was “appointed” in ’33.
His warped atrocities took a few yrs to manifest once fully established and putting Germany back on her feet to the admiration of the entire world til his evil deeds started to manifest tho his main goal was to kill Stalin and stamp out The Soviet Bolshevik nightmare which had already long murdered more civilians then Adolf eventually ever would.
There were thousands of volunteer Russian troops in Nazis uniforms helping fight to stop the genocidal monster Stalin which Solzehnitsen stated murdered 60,000,000 Russians.
So if anything the Dems are Commies not Nazis and definitely yes these American election traitors are guilty of treason worse then an enemy spy for they’ve became America’s enemy…!

Yes Fount. You are absolutely correct about the methods being exactly those used by Hitler. What you did not mention is that he infiltrated the medical societies to change the way doctors thought and to influence the medical “science.” His concentration camps were placed under the command of the Public Health Departments! And it was doctors who ran the camps. Interestingly, nothing happened to those doctors who refused to have anything to do with the mass murders. The ones who participated did so of their own free will because they had completely bought into the Nazi line.
Think Fauci, think CDC rule changes, think FDA, think lockdowns, face masks, social isolation.

Yeah but it was not just Mengele. They were all doctors. The ones who did the selections; the ones who ordered the gas to be turned on; the ones who ordered the gas to be turned off once they saw the last person take the last breath. Every last one of them were MDs.
I met Fauci in 1975 or 76. He is not a fraud. He really is an MD immunologist, but he certainly compromised his integrity when, in March or April he began to tell people the very opposite of what he and Adams had initially advised in February, which is “do not buy masks… they are feel good measures.” I am not quite sure why he is doing this and I find myself wondering if Zuckerberg had something to do with it, or maybe he is such a dyed in the wool Democrat that he was willing to do anything to assist in getting rid of DJT.

I wish President Trump would declare this Insurrection ….then he can call out the military and quell it.
I am so upset that I actually thought Barr was a good guy…he’s turned out to be a complicit fool for the Left.
When President Trump is sworn in again….I hope his first act is to replace him with Sidney Powell. And he should replace Wray with Giuliani or Grinnell.

I want to point out that prior to February…every Friday we got the death count of FLU….by February they were calling all deaths the VIRUS….once the medical community found out they could charge 4 times the amount if they called the flu Covid.
Notice how nobody has died of the flu since February……

Not only have they not died from seasonal flu but CV19 seems to have cured cancer, heart attack, pneumonia and strokes.

What really upsets me now is that no one with the authority to do so is calling an end to all of this and they seem to be well on the road of mandating vaccines in order for us to travel, work, shop and everything else.

Elite pigs need high security stables.
They will spend their piggy days either behind the bars of high-security prisons (hopefully), or behind the bars of high-security housing developments.
Contact with the real, unvarnished human world remains closed to those pigs.

An absurdly generous “donation” for a “safe election” with strings attached to push a Biden win. What an ignorant fool he is! Doesn’t he realize if the Chinese own us they will NATIONALIZE his company and have all that money go to the CCP? That’s what they do and Zuck would be no exception. Zuck will no longer benefit and control the universe of social media! Zuck’s greed for power and money is blinding him.
