Mapping the Left

The Mapping the Left (MTL) project combines data, research and news

articles to show the magnitude of the radical Left’s infrastructure in North Carolina. For

decades, the liberal/progressive movement has mostly been invisible to the general public.

Hiding from the “liberal” label, the well-organized progressive movement has built a network

of groups that work together to push an extreme, liberal/progressive agenda that the media

has failed to report upon.

The MTL project includes more than 150 activist organizations currently comprising seven

major networks, including Blueprint NC, Moral Monday, Democracy NC, HKonJ, Together NC,

ACORN, The Environment and Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation. There are more than 2,000

individuals working in even more positions (including staff and board members) within the

groups. Also included in the database are more than 350 funders which have awarded grants

in the hundreds of millions of dollars to the included organizations. MTL was created to

educate citizens and policy makers. In addition it is a repository of important information

which adds transparency to the largest liberal funders and participants in today’s North

Carolina political battles.
