Ok Anons. When I saw that a coalition was threatening companies who might hire former Trump personnel, I was enraged. So I looked at the signators of the letter. Then I went to USAspending.gov to see who got money from us to further their Bullshit. The biggest hit so far is for the group called "Worker's Defense Project". Looks like nothing more than union organizers. A couple of interesting factoids:
-
This group has rec'd over a million dollars from the USG
-
Texas based
-
Kirk Adams, the first person listed in their 'leadership council', visited the WH 25 times including a 1-on-1 w/hussein
-
The BoD treasurer works for Schwab. Coincidental that Schwab Charitable Fund donates to this group?
Donations to this Group: *side note - these figures are from a Chamber of Commerce Document
MARGUERITE CASEY FOUNDATION - 300,000
FORD FOUNDATION - $650,000
GENERAL SERVICE FOUNDATION - $85,000
WK KELLOGG FOUNDATION - 1,125,000
NEEDMOR FUND - $100,000
NORMAN FOUNDATION - $55,000
PUBLIC WELFARE FOUNDATION - $180,000
UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST VEATCH GRANTS PROGRAM - $40,000
Quote from the CoC doc: Workers Defense Project. Like NDL, this Austin-based worker center founded by employees and volunteers at a local shelter receives some limited funding from organized labor ($35,500 from the AFL-CIO and $45,000 from the SEIU), but relies mainly on foundation support, including, but not limited to, $300,000 from the Marguerite Casey Foundation, $650,000 from Ford, $85,000 from General Service, $1,125,000 from Kellogg, $100,000 from Needmor, $55,000 from Norman, $180,000 from Public Welfare, $20,000 from Solidago, $45,000 from Surdna, and $40,000 from Veatch. That all averages out to $650,000 per year during 2013-2016. For purposes of comparison, the group’s annual report for 2013, the first of those years, listed total grants and contributions of $1,030,000.85 Consistent with our expectations, it appears that our selection criteria for funders has captured roughly two-thirds of these contributions.
If I was a smarter anon, I'd know how to easily access the signators' IRS-990s and see what they're up to. Even w/o being that smart, I know they are 'up to no good'. There is no way that a recipient of USG funds should be allowed to go after US Companies and/or US Citizens. No Fucking Way this should be allowed to happen. Take our money? Fine, but STFU after you do.
