Quote of the Day
Today, March for Our Lives is in disarray. Funding shortfalls and a rift between its board and younger staffers… have strained the organization. And a recently filed federal lawsuit accuses the board of racism and retaliation.
On March 20 of this year, just before the seven-year anniversary of its celebrated rallies, MFOL terminated 13 of its 16 full-time employees.

As I said the other day, our recent progress has to be putting pressure on donations.
At this point MFOLs has to be rendered powerless to cause us any damage. I think it is extremely unlikely they will recover. They are just dust in the dustbin of history.
Nope, Grifters are gonna grift. They will possibly reorganize or merge with one of the other gun control organizations and come up with a new plan, fresh new faces and the support of the usual suspects. The media will fawn over them.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
I can see them merging for the price of their mailing list. But as a separate entity, they will never have any power again.
Match For Our Lives? Likely correct, but once grifters find an easy grift they modify that grift to keep the money rolling in.
Shannon Watts of Mom’s Demand Action is a good example. Her organization got absorbed into Mayors and she seems to be still out there.
Gun Control is part of The Democrat DNA. I doubt that will change in my lifetime. These organizations come and go, but the core premise and most of the actors remain the same.
I’m sure the rug being pulled out from under USAID has helped our cause mightily.
But I see more of a culture shift taking place. Which is what we truly needed to destroy this anti-human ignorance. Gun-control groups just can’t stay relevant to the public at large anymore.
Thanks in no small part to you, and people like you, Joe.
Thanks for all you do!
I was going to comment on how USAID shutting down appears to have led to the shuttering of MANY left-wing NGOs, too. They’ve been grifting out tax dollars to take our rights away for FAR too long.
Just a temporary setback. As long as leftists are capable of wasting oxygen they NEVER give up on their quest to destroy freedom.
How many times did Handgun Control morph. The problem is Bloomberg, Soros and a few others.
ItBlog comment creation’s interesting how quickly movements that seemed unstoppable can implode from within. Internal fractures and reliance on big-dollar donors make groups like MFOL fragile compared to grassroots organizations that thrive on volunteer passion. This feels less like a decisive defeat and more like another example of unsustainable activism burning itself out.
