Donations To Occupy Wall Street Are Now `Tax Deductible'
* Posted on October 30, 2011 at 8:55pm by Mike Opelka Mike Opelka
The $500,000 in donations collected by Occupy Wall Street is drawing the attention of many people.
* The "residents" of Zuccotti Park heard about the huge sum of money and during the regular "General Assembly" meetings, arguments have broken out over how the money is being allocated.
* Our own Buck Sexton speculated on GBTV last Friday that the IRS might take a look at the situation. After all, this is not an official non-profit organization and they have raised over a half million in funds and accumulated untold amounts of goods (non-perishable foods, sleeping bags, goggles, etc.)
Perhaps the "leadership" at OWS realized their finances were a liability and they have formed an alliance of sorts with a Social Justice non-profit group that will collect the money for them. Enter, the Alliance For Global Justice (AfGJ).
AFGJ claims to have roots that go back to the late 1970s, but they only formally organized and were recognized back in 1998. According to their website's mission statement;
It is the mission of the Alliance for Global Justice to achieve social change and economic justice by helping to build a stronger more unified grassroots movement.
And they also know an opportunity when they see one. also from the AfGJ mission statement;
The Alliance nurtures organizations seeking fundamental change in international and national conditions that disempower people, create disparities in access to wealth and power, poison the earth, and plunder its resources.
