The work these groups do will be critical during a second Trump Administration.

    I’d rather see organizations that I can join and DO something rather than give money to. So many organizations will take your money but dont want to talk to you otherwise.

      I dont get this. They can’t help you take to the streets. They’re lobbyists and investigate journalists. You need staff to so that. You can apply for a job, if you’d like.

      Almost every single time I’ve asked “what can i do?” I have been told that it’s just so much easier to donate. We just want to pay our staff (as if I’m the one holding that back from them).

      I actively participate in local politics and i can tell you that 90% of the organizations i see in my area are “nationwide” and absolute no shows at Town/Village meetings/hearings.

      If you are gonna donate to charities, vet them a little. I’m not saying the majority of them are not legit, i simply disagree with how some orgs go about implementation so i choose based off that.
