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

The way they do it is they go to these churches with the warm and fuzzy meetings and get some support from a few members and the pastor. Then they list the pastor as a member of their committee. They do this with as many church congregations as they can, then they go to the legislators pushing whichever item is next on their socialist agenda and telling them, "Look we have the full support of every member of all these churches on our side." Even though only a small number of each congregations support them and hardly any of them even know that this legislation is being pushed.
