Interestingly, the Ford Foundation is supporting several of these groups. Ford seems to be doing what it does so well - finding the more "moderate" voices in a social movement and seducing them with grants. They did this with a lot of anti-poverty community orgs in the late 1960s, and they're doing it again.
