#FundMovements

The @OccupyWallStNYC team were never contacted as to the appropriate messaging for the event "Protest to Power" held at the Ford Foundation and online via #FundMovements. As a member of the larger online networked social movement that supports the radical left, organized outside of neoliberalism, we default to an anarchist critique when looking at an institution of the 1%, such as the Ford Foundation.

We acknowledge that foundations want to support social movements, but we believe they need to be keenly aware of the way in which the system of philanthrocapitalism exercises power and protects privilege and how that brings a real potential for the weakening and co-optation of working class demands.

Disrupt everything & redistribute bloated endowments & trust funds. #FundMovements

You should have resources because humans need resources, not because you have relationships to the 1%. #FundMovements

#InequalityIs talking on the fact of 1% privilege while utterly ignoring the act of exploitation that CREATES that privilege. #FundMovements

#InEqualityIs the "obligation to capitalism" as preached by the 1% & the @FordFoundation as they infiltrate & try to weaken & #FundMovements

#InequalityIs NGOs forcing people to work without compensation. #FundMovements

So why don't they simply divest? https://t.co/lIH6tbVLVx because they don't want to give power to #WorkingPoor #FundMovements

— Occupy Wall Street (@OccupyWallStNYC) February 26, 2016

Since the wealth of the @FordFoundation came from labor in Detroit, perhaps it's time 2 redistribute there. @darrenwalker #FundMovements

Foundations long prefer polite insider maneuvering to movements. It's a class thing. So amusing to see Ford pretend otherwise.#FundMovements

Foundations destroy communities of color, why we need #DivestFoundations instead of asking them 2 #FundMovements: https://t.co/BDfeC4KyAy
