Or United Way, that was my wakeup. I worked for a business in my early 20s with UW drives and wanted 100% employee participation. One entire week devoted to donation coercion by managers so the business could get a fucking wall plaque. Pressure tactics incredible, at one point I had 3 corner me in an office berating me to donate and if I didn't to not expect a raise. I always push back when being force to do something so this was the exact opposite way to get me to agree. Discovered later I wasn't the only one who did not donate but the company got its 100% donation award anyway. Donations were made in our names.

Had a similar experience in the 80’s. Wouldn’t give them a single dime because they supported abortion.
