re: What is the Teacher's Union and Together Baton Rouge's point attacking Exxon

Together BR and Together LA are the same organization in the same building.

This is the mission statement of Together LA

quote:

---

The mission of Together Louisiana is to give faith and community-based organizations an opportunity to develop the leadership capacity of their members and affect change on a larger scale than they could alone. Together Louisiana currently is working on issues that include tax fairness, access to healthcare, flood recovery, access to healthy food, workforce development, criminal justice reform and improving infrastructure and transportation.

Here's a mission statement for Together BR

quote:

---

Together Baton Rouge is a broad-based coalition of congregations and community-based organizations in the Greater Baton Rouge area, with the capacity to address community problems large and small. The coalition has been deliberately to cross the lines of race, religion, neighborhood and political affiliation. It works on issues affecting families and communities, and is a strictly non-partisan organization.

They're both admitting that they're using churches and their leaders to push for specific political policies. I don't understand how that doesn't violate their tax exemption status.


Guess who's at the top of TBR's member list:


AFL-CIO
