Gdq are clowns now and if you say it you're transphobic and don't support LBGTQ rights
Huh? Why?
I'd like to add Lakota People's Law Project and Minnesota Freedom Fund
One with a better track record of using donations for charity and not spending money on anti gay agendas.
They got Dolly Parton for a football game that's the definition of excess.
I love Dolly, all us Tennesseans do, but come on.
But christmas is the season of giving, and bigots are people too 🥺
Toys for Tots was pretty good last I checked
They changed their stance a quite a while ago. Even their website states they accept everyone including LGBT+
To the grocery store so I dont starve to death
Edit if i had excess income I would donate to The Trevor Project.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation
Archive.org too.
eff.org too
Nowhere, not rich enough to be able to donate when we can barely cover our own expenses
You're prioritizing your own survival over filling the pockets of the salvation army leadership? (They are quite well "compensated" for their "efforts")
And this during christmas, the season of giving?
Have you no compassion?
I always give my money to local animal shelters + archive.org
I actually got a grant from a local animal shelter and I was planning on giving back... until I checked my email to see if I got any clients and found out that they've been sending astronomical amounts of spam there (I definitely never consented to that, it was my professional email) and quickly reconsidered. Same reason i'm never donating to wikipedia ever again. I didn't give you my email so you could slam it with commercials... Hope that quarter of a penny you got was worth it, assholes, because once i'm done cleaning up you're never seeing another cent from me ever again. Donated to antifa once, got a single email saying "Remember that cause you donated for? We won."
I use that as a litmus test. I now have a "spam" email and donate small amounts. If they spam that email, I won't donate again.
I'm a fan of Toys For Tots as a direct alternative. They don't accept money; you just buy a toy and put it in the donation bin, and they distribute them
