Homeboy Industries got a nice chunk-o in 2021…

"The Los Angeles-based nonprofit founded by the Rev. Gregory Boyle has received $15 million in long-term funding from the state of California and a $20 million gift from billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, the former spouse of Jeff Bezos."

And of course Jane Fonda is on the board. And of course the founder is a Jesuit. And of course the comments mention arms dealing.

"Gang Used Homeboy Industries As A Cover, Feds Say"

"Homeboy Industries, a nonprofit that works to help former gang members move on with their lives, was allegedly used by some of their clients to hide illegal activity associated with the Mexican mafia.An indictment released last Thursday said that the Mexican Mafia had united three rival Northeast Los Angeles gangs, the L.A. Times reports. The three gangs are known as Frogtown, the Rascals and Toonerville, and they control areas in Atwater Village, Glendale and Northeast L.A. Authorities say members of the new gang conglomerate likened itself to a "New World Order" or the United Nations, and that the gang worked to control the local drug trade and sometimes arranged for enemies to be killed or punished."

"The organization also operates cafes in Chinatown and downtown L.A. Vice President Joe Biden paid a visit to Homegirl Cafe in Chinatown in January, and President Obama met with Homeboy members last July."

"Greg Boyle Has Never Met an Evil Person"

"“Hold me” will become Greg’s new mantra, he tells us. For me, it mixes the essence of these two men’s faiths as naturally as the green and red chilis mix on my plate. Fabian and the man who’s fathered the artist since he was a traumatized 13-year-old kid in the projects have created between them “the tender glance of God” that Greg often speaks of as being core to healing. When this glance is received, he says, one cannot help but turn it towards others with God’s loving mercy.

Of all the times I’ve transcribed Greg’s talks, my standout moment is his story of being asked by an audience member what it’s like to meet an evil person and, without missing a beat, he replies, “In all my years with gang members, I’ve never met an evil person—and neither have you.” My mind raced with confusion and doubt, so I asked him to clarify. He texted back, “Yup. And the boogie man doesn’t exist either.” This was followed by a meme of a man wearing a pizza on his face."
