Friendly reminder to ignore Salvation Army bell ringers this year.

They use your money to lobby for anti-LGBT laws around the world in addition to exploiting the homeless, supporting anti-POC, anti-LGBT, anti-woman Conservative politicians, and doing it all under the guise of being a “religious organization”

Read about it here.

I’m glad this post says “ignore”. Please remember not to rude - often times the workers do not know the messed up workings of the people they work for.

in my experience, the bell-ringers are almost never part of the indoctrinated bigotry of the SA – they’re usually poor people who found a way to make some money and maybe like feed themselves and their families a little more this season. ignore them but do not abuse them.

    Your yearly reminder. The Salvation Army are assholes. But at least be kind to the bell ringers.

    Especially if they’re kids. A lot of times they genuinely think they’re helping and doing a good thing. Please don’t be...
