Rosa Penate is one of three directors of the Progress Unity Fund (PUF), a 501(c)3 organization closely affiliated with the Stalinist Workers World Party (WWP). Examination of the PUF's public tax returns reveals that all of the organization's grants go to WWP front organizations such as the International Action Center and International ANSWER. Moreover, the PUF's directors are either closely tied to the WWP or are full WWP members. Penate has written for Workers World Party's own weekly newspaper, Workers World, and is also a member of the National Committee To Free The Cuban 5, which seeks to free Cuban prisoners accused of committing conspiracy, espionage, and other crimes against the U.S.
