Jan. 6 rally organizer getting another $1.2 million to promote 'Trump Accounts'

The Virginia-based firm behind the January 6 rally, Event Strategies Inc., is again set to receive taxpayer funds totaling $1.2 million to promote 'Trump Accounts.' On June 1, the Treasury earmarked $800,000 for nationwide events, outreach, and media campaign support linked to the Trump Account launch, with a September end date, following a $220,000 allocation granted on May 22 for two weeks of the same work. In securities filings for the rally, Event Strategies’ leadership is listed as CEO Justin Caporale (project manager), cofounder Tim Unes (stage manager), and Megan Powers (Operations Manager for Scheduling and Guidance). The accounts target children born 2025–2028, offering $1,000 per child and up to $5,000 annually in contributions until the child turns 18. The payments come amid a broader pattern of federal contracts—The Times notes at least $22 million in contracts since January 2025, with May 25 awards exceeding $260,000 for symbol installations tied to the Freedom 250 initiative. Critics view such funding as an example of favorable treatment to entities connected to the president’s circle.
