Mark Zuckerberg Cuts Ties with FWD.us Amid Immigration Advocacy Shift

Mark Zuckerberg has officially severed ties with FWD.us, the pro-immigration advocacy organization he co-founded in 2013, according to Breitbart News. This decision comes in light of the changing political landscape following President Donald Trump's reelection.

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), which Zuckerberg established with his wife Priscilla Chan, has ceased its funding to FWD.us for the first time this year, despite having contributed over half of the roughly $400 million donated to the nonprofit since its inception.

CZI's chief of staff, Jordan Fox, also resigned from FWD.us's board, marking a significant pivot away from immigration advocacy. A CZI spokesperson stated the organization is focusing on its core work in science and education, fulfilling previous financial commitments to FWD.us.

Meanwhile, Zuckerberg's recent actions at Meta have included rolling back diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and changing content moderation practices, aligning with a more conservative stance, as reported by Engadget.

These shifts raise questions about Zuckerberg's future political and social engagements and their potential impact on Meta's corporate image and his personal brand.
