Bare with me as I write this as I have been told to not use hot links to the organizations involved.

B***** lives matter has a dot com site where people and businesses etc can donate to what appears to be a social justice campaign.
When one clicks on the 'donate' window you are redirected to another site which is actblue + more text specific to b**

A search of act blue reveals that it is a left wing fund raising platform. Wiki is pretty good. They have done well raising funds recently.

Point is to guard your emotions and investigate the organizations you donate to. Don't be fooled.

I'm at the point now where I only donate to my local church, And certain individuals known by me PERSONALLY to be Christians who absolutely need help.

Shadowy organizations where I cannot myself witness the books and records and accounting, To them I do not donate anymore. I'm done. If I don't see the books and records and see who's getting the money and how and where I don't donate. Period.

yea who has enough money to just go donating to random people you might not even know.
Most organisations that ask for money, including some missionary type ones, spend most of it on admin costs like the people who need to look after the websites and mail outs that ask for the money in the first place.

Here's a new one. Search antifaDOTcom. It'll take you to a briden/harris donation site.

Keep your excess monies in your local community. Buy food and clothing for your local food pantry or homeless shelter. Make sure that the widows and orphans are provided for. If you want to go outside your community, find a church with an active missionary program and partner with them.

Under no circumstances, give any political party or organization a penny.
