The people who conducted an in-your-face protest at the personal residence of Rep. Jason Lewis (R-Minn.) in Woodbury, Minnesota, belong to an Alinskyite group that is part of a larger, somewhat notorious community organizing network. Frightening targets by surrounding their homes and scaring their families is a tried and true left-wing organizing tactic that was frequently practiced by the now-defunct ACORN.
The leftist group in this case is called Take Action Minnesota. It describes itself as "a statewide network of people--people just like you--working to realize racial and economic equity across Minnesota." In other words, these people are identity politics-obsessed socialists. The group is reportedlyfunded by SEIU and other unions. It is also funded by prominent left-wing philanthropies (more on that in a moment).
