Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s wife has potentially raked in millions of dollars from public schools showing her documentaries dedicated to “intersectional gender justice,” according to watchdog group Open the Books.
Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s nonprofit, the Representation Project, a group focused on fighting sexism through films and activism, charged California’s public schools between $49 to $599 to stream the documentaries on “gender justice” to their students, according to Open the Books. Since 2012, Newsom has earned nearly $1.5 million in film licenses and nearly $1.7 million in sales from documentaries such as The Great American Lie, a story about systemic inequalities in gender, and Fair Play, about unfair work dynamics for women within their homes.
