Andrew Gillum a graduate of Soros’ ‘School for Revolutionaries’ the Rockwood Leadership Institute

Andrew Gillum is listed as a 2012 alum of the George Soros funded Rockwood Leadership Institute. On the Rockwood website he is listed as “Andrew Gillum, Director, Youth Leadership Programs, People for the American Way.”

The Rockwood Leadership institute under “Who We Are” states that it:

[H]as provided thousands of social change leaders across the globe with tools and skills to help change themselves, their communities, and the world.

In a Breitbart article titled “Andrew Gillum Graduated Training School That Spawned Soros Army of Revolutionaries” Arron Klein reports:

Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum graduated from an Oakland, California-based training school for progressive revolutionaries that has spawned a list of activists who have gone on to become the who’s who of the far-left leadership world, with many taking senior positions at organizations financed by billionaire George Soros.

In scores of cases, graduates of the Rockwood Leadership Institute founded or directed notorious Soros-financed activist groups, such as Black Lives Matter, Media Matters for America, MoveOn.org and the Tides Foundation, one of the nation’s largest funders of progressive groups.

Soros’s own Open Society Foundations sent top staff to Rockwood for training. Notorious radicals Van Jones and Linda Sarsour are among the many famous names listed as alums.

Discover The Networks’ file on Andrew Gillum notes:

In early 2000, he helped organize a large “March on Tallahassee” to protest Governor Jeb Bush’s 1999 executive order abolishing affirmative action in state university admissions and state contracting. To reward Gillum’s activism vis-a-vis this and other matters, the Center for Policy Alternatives recognized him as the nation’s top student leader in 2001.

In 2002, Gillum became the Florida Field Organizer with the People For the American Way Foundation (PFAWF), spearheading its “Arrive With 5” initiative — a voter-mobilization campaign whereby young people pledged to bring five additional voters with them to the polls on Election Day.

In March 2003 the Florida Democratic Party recruited Gillum to serve as its interim Political Director, but just nine months later he returned to his previous position with PFAWF.

Discover The Networks describes the missions of People for the American Way (PFAW) as:

• Monitors activities of “right wing” groups
• Opposes Patriot Act and other anti-terrorism measures
• Opposes the allegedly growing influence of the “religious right”

During his 2018 gubernatorial campaign, Gillum released a video demanding that President Donald Trump be impeached because he had “obstructed justice” by firing former FBI Director James Comey.
