Are local nonprofits becoming fronts for hard left, anti-Asian causes?

Local philanthropists were gobsmacked recently to discover that many of the local environmental, health care, and community nonprofits to which they donate have lined up in public support of Labor's widely criticized redistricting maps, which have been credibly accused of suppressing Asian-American votes. It is unclear if the Board of Directors of any of the nonprofits voted to approve their group's advocacy, if the groups actually studied the various redistricting proposals, nor how such advocacy aligns with the nonprofits' publicly-stated missions. The nonprofits who signed a public letter to the City of SJ advocating the discredited, discriminatory plan, are listed below.
