Pro-Hamas demonstrations organized using progressive not-for-profit Action Network

Pro-Hamas activists with the Democratic Socialists of America are using Action Network to organize their pro-terrorist, anti-Israel rallies in New York. Action Network is also used by the AFL-CIO, the Daily Kos, Black Lives Matter, the Women’s March, and the Democratic National Committee, among others. It has a hand in getting Democrats elected across the US.
The Action Network makes the claim that they "have helped the Women’s March mobilize huge rallies across the globe, helped the DNC raised millions for candidates and organizations, and much more." The organization is "a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, trains and educates progressives on how to use technology to organize for change."
The IRS designation of a 501(c)(4) is a "social welfare organization" that is designated not-for-profit for the groups "operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare."
The New York City local of the Democratic Socialists of America is using the platform to organize protests against Israel, which was brutally attacked by Hamas on October 7. In response, Israel declared war and has begun retaliatory strikes. The DSA believes these self-defense measures should be halted, and has demanded a ceasefire.
