<p>The Texas Organizing Project Education Fund is a leftist organization that started the Hurricane Harvey Community Relief Fund. But they admit on their website that they are using donations to organize a<a href="http://freebeacon.com/issues/big-labor-exploits-harvey/" target="_blank"> fight for right-to-work policies. </a></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Your donation is vital to ensuring that we have the resources we need to organize and fight for Texans devastated by Hurricane Harvey,&#8221; the page says.</p></blockquote>
<p>They are fully admitting they plan to steal money from people who are in severe need and <a href="http://freebeacon.com/issues/big-labor-exploits-harvey/" target="_blank">use it to fight their cause. </a></p>
<blockquote><p>
&#8220;Together we will organize and advocate for our devastated communities, shining a spotlight on inequalities that emerge in the restoration of lives, livelihoods, and homes, amplifying the needs of hard-hit communities, and providing legal assistance for residents wrongfully denied government support,&#8221; the page says.</p></blockquote>
<p>The group is exploiting donors who want to help the most dire <a href="http://freebeacon.com/issues/big-labor-exploits-harvey/" target="_blank">people after the horrific natural disaster. </a></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The fine print for this so-called ‘relief fund&#8217; makes clear that it funds workplace organizing efforts, rather than direct aid for Harvey victims,&#8221; Michael Saltsman, research director for the pro-free market Employment Policy Institute said. &#8220;If Americans want to support Hurricane Harvey relief efforts, they should donate to an organization like the Red Cross—not Big Labor and its affiliates.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>How is it possible that such a large organization that is very well-funded would prey on donors to give to relief, when they knowingly were not going to use the money meant for people in need?</p>
<p>It only makes sense that the crazed Linda Sarsour approves of this fraud. </p>

<p>Absolutely despicable. If a conservative organization tried to do this, it would be front page news. The calls to shut them down would be heard on every cable news outlet, and rightfully so. But the fact that this liberal group gets a free pass to grift money from hurricane victims is astounding.</p>

            <div id="dsq-comment-message-8273" class="dsq-comment-message"><p>Thomas I served in the Army in Viet Nam. When I was in boot camp my infant son fell ill and had to have an operation. Being from a poor family I would have to borrow the money to fly home to be with my wife during this trying time and I didn&#8217;t have it. My wife&#8217;s preacher offered to pay and let us pay him back when we could. My commanding officer recommended using the Red Cross and their rep said they could let me have the money. I took them up on their offer and wished I hadn&#8217;t. After returning to duty they garnished my wages without contacting me. They also charged me interest and handling fees. My wife had to move back in with her parents because we couldn&#8217;t pay the rent on our apartment. Thanks to her parents she and my son were able to make it until it was paid back. My first Army check was to be 50 dollars for the first month. It took close to three months to pay them back. So don&#8217;t tell me the Red Cross is concerned with helping. I have also heard horror stories worse than mine about them. I contacted their rep and he told me tuff sh#t at the time. Never will I endorse them. People please look for honest people to give your donations to.</p>
