As The Salvation Army launches its Red Kettle Campaign this holiday season, some of its long-time donors are withdrawing their support from the 156-year old charitable organization citing its newly embraced "woke" ideology as the reason.
Of great concern to loyal supporters and faithful Salvationists is the initiative dubbed "Let's Talk About Racism." In a nutshell, its curriculum outlines the Christian church's alleged racial collusion and provides action steps to analyze and combat racism through an "anti-racist" lens while incorporating Critical Race Theory.
Definitions of institutional and systemic racism are included while real or perceived differences in life outcomes ("inequities") are attributable not to individual effort and other circumstances, but to discrimination. Sections address topics including police brutality, health care and Black unemployment linking such topics to "racial inequity."
That's troublesome for those who note The Salvation Army has been a leader in confronting racism long before the rest of the country and over five decades before the civil rights movement. And they're asking why then should members of an organization built by the Christian faith to actually assist people of all races in need, be repentant of behavior they never perpetuated?"
In my estimation, CRT is a Trojan horse taking in well-intentioned Christian enterprises that—because they care about justice and oppose oppression—naively promote the most serious threat to biblical Christianity I have seen in 50 years," wrote Christian apologist and radio talk show host Greg Koukl in a Facebook post earlier this month.
Entitled An Open Letter to The Salvation Army, Koukl prefaces the post by informing TSA that he is terminating his monthly donations and directing them to another organization. Koukl is also the founder and president of the Stand to Reason, a non-profit religious organization

“Anti-Racism” is dog-whistle for “Kill Whitey.”

I had a monthly donation to them from my bank account for years.
Not anymore.
Hit ‘em in the pocketbook.
It’s the only language the terminally WOKE understand.
We re-routed our annual contribution to the Salvation Army this year because of this racist move of theirs. It wasn’t all that much, but had been regular for years.
I won’t be giving them a dime this year for the first time.
"Since I am white, and according to the Salvation Army all whites are racist, I am sure you would not want my racist tainted donation."
And so the Left takes over yet another American institution.
I hope their Santa’s all get mugged by BLM.
They were number one on our list of recipients of our charitable contributions. No longer.
slip a note in the red kettle
go woke go broke
They are also incredibly ant Israel, and anti Jew. Strong supporters of the Palestinians and the destruction of Israel:

That’s what the Left wants whites to do because the objective is to destroy the institution itself.
Instead of not donating, why don’t you contact their leaders and explain that their being used as pawns to create more division in this country.
By not donating, you are ironically giving in to the Left.
They are shut off until they repent.
Democrats destroy everything.
No more donations .
Go woke go broke !!!
I was already angry at them before COVID tyranny days.
They had already made a deliberate self-conscious effort to be homosexual apologists that previous summer at least.
Sorry, don’t self-consciously virtue-signal about how you help the poor, poor homos in their mental sickness.

The Army has been regarded as one of the most cost-effective charities with no enormous salaries or lavish buildings. I have been a fan forever and kinda figured that TSA was immune to this sort of racialist corruption. What a huge disappointment!
How much of SA’s budget goes to administration costs?
Amen
Woke and broke
Already redirected my donations. I’ve regularly and generously donated to them as far back as I can remember. They do great work, but so do other organizations. If they change their leadership and apologize for insulting their donors I may consider switching back.
