Salvation Army chapters across the country are reporting massive shortages in volunteer hours and toy donations just weeks after the charity distributed (and then pulled) a controversial guide calling on white people to confront their "racist attitudes."
The Salvation Army was a specific target of contention from the IWW in the 1910s and 20s. The Wobblies had a whole bunch of songs about how they don't actually do anything to reduce poverty and are instead full of parasitic ghouls actually perpetuating poverty. Wobblies would call them the Starvation Army.
They were founded by Evangelical Christians and are still explicitly Christian. If I remember right, they used to really work hard to convert people receiving aid from them. Hence the name...
isn't the salvation army pretty anti-lgbtq too?
