A startling new investigation has revealed that Amazon provides charitable funding to the controversial and hyper-liberal Southern Poverty Law Center through the AmazonSmile customer giving program. Yet Amazon lets the SPLC act as a gatekeeper for the program, which means SPLC denies Amazon customers the ability to give to politically conservative organizations. As a result, organizations that promote conservative ideas are cut off from funds, while Amazon allows donations to a variety of liberal organizations that include Planned Parenthood, the Freedom from Religion Foundation, and the SPLC itself, which is the 33rd largest recipient of AmazonSmile contributions.
A watchdog organization has placed an initiative on Amazon’s annual shareholder vote and is running a public petition campaign designed to end the injustice of SPLC both controlling and benefiting from the AmazonSmile program. They have placed an online petition for public signature here, with petitions sent immediately to Amazon’s Board of Directors.
The National Center for Public Policy Research reviewed AmazonSmile’s last filed 990 form, which is a disclosure document required of all charitable organizations. In fiscal 2018, AmazonSmile delivered some $44 million to nonprofits, by allowing customers to earmark ½ of 1% of their purchases to these groups. This makes them one of the largest grantors of such funds in America.

I've bought 3 things from Amazon. All three things were shipped from China. First time I thought it was weird. Second a fishy coincidence. The third time I stopped buying from them.
ReplyDeleteThis make Amazon a hate group!
ReplyDeleteWell Bezos is a kook liberal so can’t expect much.
ReplyDeleteThe government should tighten down on Amazon tax breaks.
ReplyDeleteTime to boycott amazon now.
ReplyDeleteAmazon is a creation of intelligence
ReplyDeleteIt took teams of smart people to develop Amazon
Ditto for Facebook
The frontmen (Bezos and Zuckerberg) are chosen for the Psyop so nobody realizes Intelligence is so powerful. Intelligence works for the international bankers who own the Central Banks
