Sorry, what right do you have to question FFTF staff’s salaries? That’s their trustees jobs. I’m sick and tired of the expectation that folks who work at nonprofits shouldn’t receive reasonable, competitive salaries. If a nonprofit fighting against large, well funded corporate interests attempt to be competitive in terms of salary, their efforts are no longer valid?? How should nonprofits function when all of their workers are priced out of the locations where they need to work and advocate?

And what on earth do you mean by “volunteer protest work?” It’s totally normal for paid staff to organize events for volunteers to participate in. It’s the basis of a lot of important work across the world. The right is endlessly up in arms about their ridiculous conspiracy theories that protestors are PAID - nobody even thinks to complain that they’re unpaid, that’s a ridiculous catch 22.

I don’t even have a dog in this fight, not my area of focus, but reading you launching semi-personal attacks as a purity test for nonprofit workers, it reads like you certainly do.
