A crucial legal saga of national importance is playing out .... Its outcome will have far-reaching implications for generations to come.
In 2015, an orchestrated legal attack backed by “Goliath”, Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), targeted a New Jersey man and a small non-profit organization, resulting in financial destruction and stripping them of their constitutional rights.
Arthur Goldberg, and the organization that he helped establish, Jews Offering New Alternatives for Healing (JONAH), are the “Davids” now in the crosshairs. JONAH helped people in the Jewish community and other faiths, find support in line with their religious beliefs by pairing counselors with clients who wanted were experiencing unwanted same-sex attractions.
In an unprecedented move by the SPLC, JONAH was the first non-profit organization in the country to be sued for fraud. Never before had consumer fraud laws been applied to an organization that was not a commercial business operating for profit. Although we strongly disagree, in 2015, it was decided that JONAH provided therapy in violation of the NJ Consumer Fraud Act.
Thereafter, Goldberg went on to establish the Jewish Institute for Global Awareness (JIFGA) and its own crowd-funding initiative, Funding Morality.
Tragically, on August 7, 2019, Funding Morality was shut down, thanks to more legal maneuvers by the SPLC. The judge ordered a $3.2 million fine to be paid, ordered the website and its parent nonprofit to shut down, holding that it violated a previous order in 2015.

I was wondering when someone would give that rabbit punch to the Southern Poverty Law Center. They have done nothing but put rabbit pellets of hate on the political landscape since its founding in 1971.
Who funds the SPLC?
good
we have several good conservative law groups to donate to periodically
We do.. the aclj is my amazon smile charity. It warms the heart to have amazon send them money.
...
Mine IS FIRE, The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, which supports the first amendment rights of students. I was surprised to see it on Amazon's list.
yup
aclj is a good one
alliance defense fund is another good one too
Southern Poverty Law Center’s 2017 IRS form 990 for non-profits listed SPLC’s assets that year as $518,251.510 - a humongous amount, giving them great power.
The 990 form for the 2017 year also listed $121,975,000 in donations in 2017.
