Protesters from New York City traveled to Greenwich, Connecticut, on Saturday to rally outside the home of billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones. The protest came as part of a project called The Hedge Clippers, which seeks to highlight the role of hedge fund leaders in steering New York state toward policies that favor the rich. The group recently reported hedge fund managers have flooded New York state with nearly $40 million in political contributions since 2000. The largest individual beneficiary has been Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has received nearly $5 million, much of it from founders and backers of charter schools. Activists Jonathan Westin and Zakiyah Ansari described their reasons for targeting Paul Tudor Jones, who has a net worth of more than $4 billion.

Jonathan Westin: “The greedy few cannot control New York state government and our governor, Andrew Cuomo.”

Zakiyah Ansari: “His hedge fund buddies have bought our state majority, which is Republican right now, and they are pushing policies and don’t want to pass laws that help folks who don’t have as much money as them. They’re not thinking about passing the DREAM Act. They don’t think about passing a living wage, ensuring that there’s a living wage available for others, so not even that they could be as wealthy as them, so they can live.”
