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

And they wonder why...
You could also just write it on a piece of paper. “Stop Being Communists” is a good message to send.
The Salvation Social Justice Warriors.
Roger that. We have now become our favorite charity. Get woke go broke.
Sorry, posted #85 to wrong thread. Oops!
Wow! That is new, but not surprising. Looks like they let the wolves in.
I hope they enjoy losing all their support and donations from “whitey”.
No more money into the street kettle until SA apologizes for its racism against whites.
I lived in Santa Barbara, California in the 1970’s.
I heard at the time that the captain at the local Salvation Army was keeping a lot of the donated antiques and art.

I have been donating to the Salvation Army since 1972 when I got back to the world, 100 dollars every quarter (even when it left me broke), told my wife yesterday that we wouldn’t be making any more donations to them, EVER!
What I was thinking, too.
I will do it... multiple times.
Get woke, go broke.
“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.”
You think they’re that naive? The way you send them a message they will understand is by not donating.
Nothing is sacred anymore. If they can turn the Salvation Army, they can force this bullcrap down the throat of any company or corporation.
Woke is broke. They better wake up before they all go broke.
Thanks.
It’s just my personal opinion based on watching the functioning of staffs at various levels during 50+ years in the military and the defense industry.
I’m sort of beyond caring about opinions that reflect exactly zero understanding of how organizations, especially big ones, actually function.
In the final analysis, the leader is always responsible for what the organization does or doesn’t do. That’s the maxim. But what is unstated is that he or she may get a lot of “help” in getting to that point.
Sort of like being shoved into a buzz saw.
The gibsmedats won’t be making up any shortfall in donations; they have all the time in the world and still I see none of them volunteer to do anything or support through donations.
Uh.............to late you lose!
