Amid rising tensions over the perpetrators of the violent
anti-ICE riots, a California-based company specializing in organizing on-demand
protest crowds says there are ways to distinguish between hired protesters and
natural participants.
“We receive inquiries about virtually every important social
cause imaginable, and anti-ICE protests are no exception,” Adam Swart, CEO and
founder of Crowds on Demand, told Fox News Digital. “Just because we receive
requests doesn’t mean we accept them—in many cases, it’s because the budget
isn’t up to the ambition.”
Swart also told the outlet that his company has received
“numerous high-budget requests” related to anti-ICE protests, but those offers
were rejected because they “don’t want to engage in any type of illegal
activity, such as violence, vandalism, or blocking roads without a permit.”
Swart, who founded Crowds on Demand in 2012 while a student
at UCLA with the goal of "changing the way advocacy is done,"
explained how his company supports various causes and how to identify if
protests are connected to other companies or organizations.
