Salvation Army's Popularity Takes a Hit When Tied to Its Anti-Racism Campaign, Poll Finds
By Carly Mayberry On 12/10/21 at 6:43 PM EST

A new independent survey shows the polarizing way in which The Salvation Army's recent anti-racism campaign has affected support for the international charitable organization.

The poll of 1,200 registered voters conducted this week by Rasmussen showed a dramatic 24 percent drop by respondents seeing The Salvation Army in a "very favorable" light since its introduction of its "Let's Talk About Racism" initiative.

Specifically, when asked about how they see the organization now that it has incorporated training that "America is a structurally racist society," 23 percent of respondents said they view the organization "very unfavorably" while 21 percent answered they see SA in a "very favorable" light. That's compared to 45 percent of those who answered they have a "very favorable" impression of the organization when asked how they viewed the organization in general, and without the new initiative. Only 5 percent said they viewed SA "unfavorably" when sharing their perspective generally speaking.

Get Woke, Go Broke
I haven't seen any bell ringers this year.

I can't help but wonder who was the utter moron who came up with the idea?
And who were the idiot board members who approved it? (my guess is they were 'afraid' to say no)
Charities like SA and others, have to maintain neutrality to cultivate a broad appeal.
That is by definition their charter. Their charter has nothing to do with pitting Whites against Blacks and vice versa.

Come to think of it, neither have I

Is there a woke test for bell ringers?

I saw two and told them, no help anymore.  They looked confused.

Looks like the decision maker at the Army is cooperating with
Communists in our country and only the state should provide
relief to the needy. This idea of Christianity needs to be stamped
out.

Seems to be working. I have seen no bell ringers in Toledo. And
with the Woke content, my days of volunteering items is over.
Your local church would be a better option.

Poor guys. I doubt they've even heard. I'd love to know exactly how badly going red will hurth the SA this year, but I don't expect them to be honest about it.

That's too bad.  I guess I won't bother making up the "Sincere Apology in Lieu of Money" cards I wanted to hand out.

Ahem.

As a member of a United Methodist Church, please don't broad brush us—get to know your local congregation. Our church is driven mainly to serve our community with material donations (food and clothing). But certain congregations in the church are very "woke." The national church has been trying to push CRT and "anti-racist" propaganda on us and it has been a challenge to at and maintain our independence. We existed as a Brethren church before the UMC swallowed it in 1968.

I was raised a Methodist, and nationally they are as leftist as the Pope.  Local churches are fine, but the UMC national demands "contributions" from the locals.

I am taking a class on Church History at a local UMC. The pastor was commenting on this during our last class (The topic was the Reformation 1500-1600). He mentioned the factionalization that had occured over the last 50 or so years.

That was before I opted out.  I called it "the First Church of Money."  Forerunner to the PTL televangelists.  Every Service was a lecture on donating more money, I got tired of it.  Then the national Church went full socialist later on and I never looked back. I am sure there are a lot of good local Methodists churches.

There is a Salvation Army kettle/ringer outside my local Ralphs/Kroeger in are with a good mix of expensive homes and seniors. I have been there at busy times day and night and sat in my car watching for a while, I did not see a single person donate even once, what I did see last evening is the bell ringer get so dejected that she stopped ringing and just leaned against a wall five feet from the kettle just watching. Yes it is a predominately White area, but not over say 60% and it seems everyone is put off by the SA's woke bullsiite.

43 members on the board is Wayyyy to many to make competent decisions.

So is $400 million each year to handle management fees.

I would say ALL CHURCHES.....are leftists.   Catholic charities, Lutheran, LDS..all supported bringing in muslims!  Helping them. Asking us, me, to help them!  I left the 'church'. They bring in people who will later burn down the churches.  They are all misguided. "love your neighbor, turn the other cheek".  THAT is for other Christians.  Not the enemy.  Jesus also says, "make your plow into swords."  Fight the enemy.  Churches love all people in turd word country's, not their own congregation.  Or people in AMERICA, citizens,  who need help.  'more points"..virtue signaling, for turd world countries. And nothing ever changes.

Most charities are a business of their own.  HUGH PAYMENTS FOR THEMSELVES.  I just give to my neighbors or buy a meal and deliver to someone homeless. Time to stop all charities.  ALL.

You advocate a loss of freedom.  I advocate simply not contributing to those which do not fulfill the mission for which they are designed.
