In this instance, please don't judge individual chapters based upon how the headquarters behaves! My daughter works in a mid-west division as a district volunteer coordinator, and just today she held an event in which over 80 volunteers ( of all races and ages, she sent me a video of it) where packing up huge boxes of food to be delivered to hundreds of needy families in the area for their Christmas dinner....it even included a coupon for the protein of choice! It also included food items to get them through the time when kids are on winter break! It was a event filled with prayer, compassion and servitude as most of these volunteers, including my daughter have felt the burden of inflation YET they all realize they are still extremely blessed and need to be there to help others! And by others....I MEAN ALL OF HUMANITY REGARDLESS OF RACE!!!! Thanks for understanding my point!
It's too bad they don't realize they can (and should) separate themselves from HQ and still do good work. Instead they continue to associate with this evil insanity.
Sorry, it's not ok with me. Whatever else they do locally, they're still endorsing wokeness.
In most ways I believe that my daughter's division is separated from HQ! In fact, I had no idea of the woke behavior of the SA prior to this article! I have not seen, heard or felt any issues of race being overt within this diverse company, and neither has my daughter (I pointed out this article to her and she was equally as shocked)! Her comment..... " I refuse to become cynical when it comes to helping those in need! I can only control my own thoughts and actions, and for now I know this is where God has called me to serve"! She recently turned down a higher paying position with another non-profit! My personal feelings? I abhor racism and wokeness, and pray the actions of my daughter and the hundreds of those who work along side her, truly make a impact upon anyone who would embrace this sickening ideology.....clearly the mindset of HQ has had zero influence in THIS chapter, and hopefully many others!
The only way I would support a local chapter would be if they publicly denounce HQ’s woke position and apologize on their behalf. Everyone needs to stand up to tyranny, especially if they are Christian. Show the world that they are not cowards and have faith in Christ.
