Radical Palestinian Shill Embraced By Mainstream Left Now Fundraising For Her Advocacy and Organizing Efforts Under the Rubric of "Donations for Hurricane Relief"
Darling of the SJW Left, Linda Sarsour, keeping it classy as always:
She immediately blamed the condemnation for her soliciting political donations in the guise of hurricane relief on the "alt-right" putting on the Adolph Hitler Mustache Bat Signal.
Well, looks like the increasingly prog-symp* Weekly Standard is now a proud member of the alt-right:
ut the page’s donation button doesn’t direct funds to any of the actual groups currently involved in Hurricane relief, like the Houston Food Bank, the Greater Houston Community Foundation or the Texas Diaper Bank. Instead, the page funnels money to the “Texas Organizing Project Education Fund,” a nonprofit dedicated to “advancing racial and economic justice through community and electoral organizing.”
Have these advocates of justice decided to help provide food or shelter for the displaced? Not exactly. “All donations made here will only be used to organize in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey,” the group announced on its Facebook page. “Together we will organize and advocate for our devastated communities, shining a spotlight on inequalities that emerge in the restoration of lives, livelihoods, and homes, amplifying the needs of hard-hit communities, and providing legal assistance for residents wrongfully denied government support.”
The writer notes that TOP has previously used money to organize, after the fact, for money from the government (what a shock) after disasters, but obviously, when people see "Hurricane relief" as a cause, they're thinking the money is going to direct, immediate relief. Like food and potable water and shelter. Not to Linda Sarsour's donation-parasite community organizers.
* Although Steven Hayes and Jon V. Last are taking the once gloriously mediocre magazine into a brave new direction of full-on country club progressivism, there are good writers there, like Lee Smith, Mark Hemingway, Andrew Fergusson, and Chris Caldwell.
Alas, we see less and less of them anymore.
Flashback: Linda Sarsour, professional donation parasite.
