Democratic National Committee workers are asking for charitable donations after making significant layoffs in a dramatic downsizing after Vice President Kamala Harris lost the election.
The pleas for donations sparked outrage on social media, as memories of the massive $1 billion Kamala Harris campaign spending spree were still fresh, including millions of dollars spent to host celebrity filled town halls for the vice president.
Two-thirds of DNC staffers were laid off as part of the downsizing on Wednesday, with only one day's notice and no severance, according to the union.
'These cuts go far beyond typical campaign turnover and impact employees who were previously told their positions would be retained after the election,' the statement from the union protesting the layoffs read.
The DNC union fund portrayed laid off workers as victims of the party, urging individuals to send donations to soften the blow.
'We are heartbroken to see our colleagues—who dedicated countless hours to electing Democrats up and down the ballot—depart under these circumstances, and we are furious with DNC leadership for failing to provide severance to those affected,' the union fundraiser read.
The goal set by organizers is $25,000, but at the time of publication, only $15,816 has been raised.
'We want to be clear: the funds raised from this GoFundMe are not a replacement for the severance we are still fighting for on behalf of our colleagues,' the message read.

Nobody should give the DNC so much as one penny.
They should ask Oprah for the money.

We have reached a stunning national consensus -— we have not lived in anything resembling the nation that was envisioned by our Founders. That is about to be reversed, dramatically evidenced in 2024’s presidential election when a broad coalition voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump.
I’m waiting for the DNC telethon on MSNBC...
Lol, just continue to mock them about it. They had a billion and they STILL LOST.
At some point you figure the Democrat voters would figure out their leaders are more concerned about themselves in running both the party and the country. But no, my mommy always voted D because they care for the little guy, so I have to.
It’s like BLM leaders buying a $6 million house using contribution from rich companies. Why not. Best we can do is investigate publicly and point it out so that they’ll have a harder time raising money down the road.
Selling cat food might work.
$1.6 BILLION........................
I can see now why the musicians get so pissed off at the GOP when they play one of their songs at a rally. They want the GOP to pay them the big bucks the way the Demmies do.
touché
Can they get a bailout in the last 55 days?
Not with this Congress...............
You are on the right track—how about a cat auction?
Lol.
