She left the organization to do direct action elsewhere. I'll go back and edit that post there. But you certainly have a bead on these organizations, as well.
I distrust NGOs and/or 'non-profits' who who are unaccountable and do a lot of dirty deals under the table, making things much worse off behind their shiny facades.

I get emails from various fundraising efforts to maintain the edge in the U.S. Senate, one of them is begging for money to get matching funds for elections. The Democratic Party seems to be on the ropes all the time despite the 'they're all the same' bunch that spreads disunity and despair.
