Goldman Sachs and Bank of America foundations gave over $600,000 to ultraconservative groups

Bank of America and Goldman Sachs have both been lauded for their LGBTIQ-friendly workplaces. But tax filings uncovered by openDemocracy show nonprofit foundations linked to the banks have also funded ultraconservative groups fighting to roll back civil rights for the queer community worldwide.

From 2017 to 2020, the Bank of America Charitable Foundation handed out more than $390,000 to eight such organisations who between them have resisted same-sex marriage laws and anti-discrimination protections for LGBTIQ people, challenged contraception and abortion access, and sought to ban gender-affirming healthcare for trans people. …

      I can appreciate what you are doing and I can also appreciate the news story in and of itself. If you want to do something equal, post a new story that is also legitimate news about how China sucks and I will gladly upvote that as well.

          We already know that the west is corrupt, just as is the east.

          It’s not like it’s news to anyone that politicians are corrupt, if anyone doubts that I can look to my own country the UK and see all the things the Tory party have done in power the last 13 years.

              I really don’t care about the content of the article, I’m calling out the user specifically based on all his contributions.

              Which is arguably worse if I’m honest, at least debate or discuss the content of the article and whether it’s genuine or not. Trying to discredit the article simply because you don’t like the source is just crap.

              Whether or not the poster is garbage and yes i’m fully aware of their post history it doesn’t change the content of the article.

      Reporting this user. Don’t reply to them.

      Brand new account posts zero or can’t see, and he posts literally this same “op is a china shill” to many other posts.

      In fact I just did look at OPs posts and a handful of comment which causes me to say,

      Knee-jerk rightwingers like you are so predictable, with your comments in lock-step with the GOP; “china” a convenient boogie man. I’m surprised you didn’t blame trans folk.

      Why do you even bother?

      And an honest question: why are you so angry all the time?
