The work these groups do will be critical during a second Trump Administration.
Are any of these orgs more powerful than the judicial branch and executive branch combined? If not they are just collecting empty money, a grift but for the other side
We need lots and lots of lawyers on our side to fight this stuff. Sometimes we will lose in court, but often we won’t. A lot of judges actually do believe in the rule of law. Not everything will make it to the Supreme Court and not everything that does make it there will be upheld.
If we don’t fight things in court, nothing stops them from taking effect, so that is priority number 1 in terms of funding. We need to pay good lawyers good money or else they’ll watch the US crumble with the rest of us.
Is there a Luigi Training Center I can donate to?
No, but if you’re looking for somewhere to learn to shoot without having to interact with neo-Nazi LARPers, there is the SRA.
I imagine you can purchase 3d printed guns from an org that designs them. Usually purchasing open hardware aids its future development
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.
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.
I’ll also say that especially with the upcoming recession we might be facing, mutual aid is incredibly important. If you’re in a big city, find your local Food Not Bombs chapter, or just Google “mutual aid [your area]”. I guarantee you that someone has put something together in your city or county.
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.
ACLU is already suing and will continue to do so. Another great one to support which is not on this list is the National Network of Abortion Funds.
Wonder if we could get a list stickied for the community?
Any thoughts on which organizations can make the biggest impact or need help the most? It’s tough to choose.
Think I’m leaning towards Immigration Impact.
I’m supporting ACLU
Maybe watch his speech and try estimate the percent of his hate directed to each marginalized group, and allocate according to that percentage
This is good. I need this. I was just wondering this today.
Same here. Today was tough.
Yes democrats can’t beat him in an election but they can still take your money.
I was disappointed to see some orgs on this list that endorsed Harris, but not all did.
Did any of these groups do anything at all during initial Trump presidency? Because I haven’t heard of most of them (exclude ACLU, SPLC & PP). They all sound like useless money sinks if none of them are willing to throw down the gloves and fight dirty.
I only give money to Luigis.
Thanks for this. This is really cool.
Very welcome!
Why are there only 26?
