I was appalled at what happened to Caroline Farrow and donated to her legal fees via Citizen Go. After a bit of internet searching, which I should have done before, they look like an organisation whose values are dubious - with regards to abortion and other things. Has anyone heard of them?

Why so, @ToGanymedeAndTitan ?

I really want to help Ms Farrow ( @snapealways ) but I am concerned about donating to CitizenGO, as I think their work in various African countries is quite damaging to women's lives there.

Is there any way we can be assured that if we donate to help support Ms Farrow in facing an attack from the Thought Police, the funds will go ONLY to her support fund?

I can't even tell what's parody and what's not on this board any more 😁

could someone dm me the link as I'd like to donate?

Appalled, appalled I tell you.

Cut off the oxygen supply to this thread. Ignore, move on.

Oh Christ on a bike are we to have a weekend of people coming on here telling us how a Christian woman who campaigns against abortion works for a Christian organisation who campaign against abortion and how bad it all is?

Jesus literally wept. We know. Many people agree with her and them. Many people don't.

She was arrested for a meme that she neither posted or designed.

So this is how it works, sweet innocent DaveDave

Women speak up about the loss of single-sex spaces and an ideology that destroys children and young people’s bodies, brains and endocrine systems

Said women are targeted by TRAs, sometimes to the extent of pursuing civil cases, getting compliant police forces onto them, or getting them sacked from their jobs

Said women may set up fundraisers on the conventional crowdfunding sites, which are targeted by the TRAs and often shut down. The TRAs try to remove every avenue said women have to defend themselves.

If said women then use less conventional crowdfunding sites, the TRAs then attack the women for that too, despite being the ones responsible.

And they often come on here with their ‘just wonderings’ and ‘I’m as GC as they come’ to profess amazement and baffled disappointment.

I look at it through the lens of the TRAs / Genderologists piling on to ensure every crowd funding site removes GC fundraisers/crowd funding

absolutely

this is what happens when what more ‘mainstream’ (can’t think of another word) crowd funding sites refuse to host certain people

as with all things if you don’t like it there is no one forcing anyone to use it

I look at it through the lens of the TRAs / Genderologists piling on to ensure every crowd funding site removes GC fundraisers/crowd funding. At least this can collect donations that are freely given for Caroline’s specific cause.

Yes they are dubious. They are vociferously anti-abortion and anti-same-sex marriage. If someone is using CG as their fundraising platform I will have to respectfully and regrettably decline.

Oh I just bothered Googling after I posted 😂 Apparently it was founded in Spain.
It's mainly used by Americans though

Carproblem · 08/10/2022 08:48

Yes they are a Christian American organisation so their campaigns reflect those values. But I don't really care, and still Support CF who is also a Christian.
