Rockefeller and Soros Connection to Ocasio-Cortez and the "Green New Deal"

So I saw this headline and wanted to verify it:

'Rockefeller Caught Funding Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE GROUP BEHIND OCASIO-CORTEZ’S GREEN NEW DEAL

Founded in April 2017, the Sunrise Movement is a newcomer among the many green organizations that have already been established for generations. However, the youth-led climate group quickly garnered national attention and high-dollar donations from across the country. Between its 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) entities, the group was able to raise just shy of $1 million during 2018 — and members intend to raise $2.5 million in 2019.

Despite growing attention from the media, it’s been difficult to pinpoint exactly who is funding the Sunrise Movement. The group is not legally required to disclose its donors. However, a recent report from Inside Philanthropy, an outlet focused on philanthropic groups and their big donors, shed some light.

The Rockefeller Fund, the Wallace Global Fund and the Winslow Foundation are core funders of Sunrise Movement. The three groups have continued to finance a large portion of Sunrise’s operations, with institutional funders making up 55 percent of the group’s 2018 budget. Thirty-five percent of its budget came from individual donors, and the rest came from non-profit partners.

Sunrise’s core funders have a long history of bankrolling left-wing activities.

The Global Wallace Fund has given nearly $7 million to population control groups since the 1990s. The Rockefeller Family Fund has led a war against ExxonMobil, acknowledging it has colluded with Democratic attorneys general and funded negative media coverage against the oil company, The Daily Caller News Foundation previously reported.

This article links to this confirming the Rockefellers are a main supporter:

The group raised just under $1 million in 2018 between its 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) entities, and received early support from a set of core funders that have since stuck with it. Wallace Global Fund, which was instrumental in the fossil fuel divestment campaign, funds Sunrise, as do the Rockefeller Family Fund (one of the smaller foundations associated with the oil family), and the Winslow Foundation, run by Wren Winslow Wirth, who is married to former politician Tim Wirth. Institutional funders made up about 55 percent of its 2018 budget, with 35 percent coming from individual donors, and the rest from nonprofit partners.

It said this group called the "Sunrise Movement" is a main supporter and wealthy backer of the "Green New Deal" that Ocasio, Julian Castro (2020 candidate), Pocahontas (2020 candidate), Booker, Jill Stein, Joseph Kennedy III (chapstick), and many other marxist progressives are pushing, which includes among other nonsensical and ridiculous ideas a large amount of "carbon taxes". The Rockefeller Family and two others are the "core funders" of the Sunrise Movement, which is a big supporter of the "Green New Deal"

This wiki has a good description of what the "Green New Deal" is (and see the other links for moar sauce):

Then when you go to the Sunrise Movement's website, you see all the interesting politicians and other groups that support it also (pics), including unsurprisingly:

MoveOn Civic Action, Democratic Socialists of America, and many liberal, marxist, and progressive movements and politicians that some are Soros related

BOTH Soros (+) and Rockefeller (removed) are connected to the Green New Deal, with Soros supporting it and the Rockefeller family being a "core funder", confirmed
