The ACLU Gets Fat on Pharma and Tech Funding/Part II

Across western cultures, human sexual dimorphism has been under legal assault by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other more powerful legal entities and is being replaced with a vague notion of “gender identity.”

 

The ACLU has been inundated with millions of dollars in philanthropy over the past few years from billionaires deeply invested in the medical tech industry.  Jon Stryker, heir to Stryker Medical fortune, and his husband, Slobodan Randjelović recently funded the ACLU 20 million dollars, in an effort to counter state bills that keep sex centered in the law.  Jennifer Pritzker, a transsexual and member of the American billionaire Pritzker family who is deeply invested in the techno-medical complex, and Joan and Irwin Jacobs who are also deeply entrenched in the techno-medical complex have also funded the ACLU millions of dollars. I wrote about the Jacobs in part I of this blog post.

 

The latest significant ACLU endowment includes 20 million dollars, gifted in 2018, by Michael Moritz, a former journalist turned venture capitalist and partner of Sequoia Capital, and his wife, Harriet Heyman, who between them share a net worth of 2.6 billion dollars. The money to the ACLU came through the couple’s Crankstart Foundation.

Sequoia Capital companies are predominantly tech-based, including Apple, Snowflake, a data warehouse platform built for the cloud, and 23andme, the leading personal genetics information company, among others.
