"The officials in question lent their names to the "Let Cuba Live" campaign, which denounces President Donald Trump's oil embargo on the island nation and seeks to triage solar panels and generators to defray the crippling impact on its energy production. All donations for the effort run through the People's Forum, a Manhattan-based nonprofit established and financed by Shanghai-based magnate Neville "Roy" Singham, part of his sprawling web of organizations promoting the interests of China and its allies Russia and Iran."
"The People's Forum and Singham, a devout Maoist who reaped a fortune from the sale of his software firm Thoughtworks, were at the center of a House hearing last week on foreign influence operations and overseas funding of activist groups. Let Cuba Live's website reveals the involvement of other Singham-linked groups, including CODEPINK - co-founded by his wife, Jodie Evans - and the ANSWER Coalition, both of which spearheaded anti-Israel protests beginning the day after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel."
"Jewish Voice for Peace and the Democratic Socialists of America are also signatories, along with well-known left-wing celebrities such as Susan Sarandon and Roger Waters who have long been vocally hostile to Israel. But unlike Singham's other attempts to influence U.S. policy and promote its geopolitical foes, this effort has attracted backing from dozens of leading Democrats, the vast majority of them representing parts of New York City."
Dozens of Democrats, including 23 New York City Council members, multiple state lawmakers and four congressional candidates, endorsed the Let Cuba Live campaign to counter President Donald Trump's oil embargo by supplying solar panels and generators to Cuba. All donations are routed through the People's Forum, a Manhattan nonprofit financed by Shanghai-based magnate Neville 'Roy' Singham. Singham, a devout Maoist who built wealth from the sale of Thoughtworks, has ties to CODEPINK, the ANSWER Coalition, Jewish Voice for Peace and the Democratic Socialists of America. Singham and the People's Forum were scrutinized in a House hearing on foreign influence and overseas funding.
