Stand Together reviews

It’s an incredibly backwards place plagued by self-important yet useless middle management

This is supposed to be a social change organization but it is really a political one, and they can’t even get the politics right. 10 years ago they were all in on politics, then Trump came around and they backed away from it but continued to support Republicans who paid lip service to some of their issues. Now they’re back to politics again but are just going to waste millions again. Yet this political focus gets all the attention and money, while the actual social change “entrepreneurs” are left to fight over scraps unless they happen to be some big name celebrity or some high profile PR event that looks good but doesn’t do anything to change society. They also change everything every year and are constantly in planning and strategy mode, which detracts from having an impact. At the end of the day this is all about politics and economic policy, with other “priority initiatives” / important social change topics merely existing as window dressing to obscure the ultimate goal of electing Republicans to cut taxes and regulations for their wealthy donors, with authoritarian and racist policies as a minor inconvenience.
