 Bizarre Organization Invites Liberals To Quit Their Jobs & Become Full-Time “Resistance” Members
July 22, 2017
An organization called Fight For The Future (FFTF) is offering “potentially” as much as $15,000 a month to full-time anti-Trump activists to help in the ‘resistance.’ “Terrified about Trump? Quit your job, start an A-Team. We might just fund it,” the FFTF website states on its A-Team project page.
Political issues listed on the website include “Healthcare / ACA, Climate, Immigration, The Wall, Corruption, Racism / Fascism, Police, Prisons.”
“You can call Congress, or attend a protest. And you should. But is that it? Why stop there? Why set aside everything you’ve learned, everything you are, to be simply one more terrified person on a phone line, or marching in a street?” asks FFTF on its site.
“What if you did the following, as well?
Find someone you love to work with.Pick an issue area and angle.Do activism full-time using every connection, skill, tool, and trick at your disposal—until you win.Our goal: to convince you to take exactly these steps, give you a playbook, and then potentially fund you,” the website reads.
 “To start, we’re going to select some of the strongest teams for funding. So if you’ve got a 2-3 person A-Team and a target, you should apply. We’d potentially give you $15,000 for the first month, just to see what you can do,” FFTF states further down the page.
“If you make a big splash or measurable impact on your target in that time, we think we can find you more.”
The group goes on to make a fantastic suggestion to those that wish to take part in activism.“Often the best answer to the funding question is a personal one. If you’re young, maybe you can live for free or cheap by moving back home,” FFTF says.
“Maybe you’ve always wanted to check out Thailand, or India, or build a tiny house, or try some rural or urban lifestyle where you don’t really need that much money.”
“The cool thing about being able to self-fund your team (e.g. by living cheap and working unpaid) is that you get total independence to follow your vision,” the group claims.
“This lets you find opportunities for activism that perhaps nobody else in the world is thinking about.”
Doesn’t that sound amazing? Wouldn’t it be fantastic to work as a political activist on American issues in a remote village located in Thailand?“If you are granted $15k, there’s no guarantee of further funding.” states the group.
Oh…
“If we find people who are awesome at this and they’re working on a primary issue like one of the ones we listed above, we’re hopeful that we can get them ongoing funding. There’s some risk we won’t be able to, but we think it’s more likely than not that we will.”
 FFTF, clearly knows what they’re doing, however. After encouraging aspiring activists to quit their full-time job, the group gives potential A-Team members a great idea on how to fund themselves!
“As you start to build large audiences, ask them to donate. And look out for individuals or organizations who support what you’re doing and might be able to give more.”
Foolproof.
“Epic victories we will die knowing we helped make happen. Also, more company! We’re committed to remaining small. This is our way to grow: helping start other A-Teams,” explains the final FAQ on the website.
Breitbart News reached out to FFTF for comment and, surprisingly, they received a reply.“We started A-Teams because Fight for the Future has been able to do some amazing things with a tiny team—like stopping the Internet censorship bills SOPA & PIPA, or helping stop Obama and Comey’s FBI from winning a backdoor to everyone’s iPhone—so we’re looking for teams that can pull off big wins like these but on other issues, like legalizing marijuana, addressing opiate addiction in a smarter way, or turning Obamacare into something that gets the job done but isn’t a handout to insurance companies,” the group said in reply to Breitbart.
“We’re doing it with general funds, and we’ve only made one grant so far, since finding the right mix of creativity and skills is extremely hard, so it hasn’t been much money yet. Once we figure out a good way to find skilled activists we’ll ramp up fundraising, but right now our bottleneck has been finding the right people.”
FFTF even pitched to Breitbart readers!
“Breitbart readers are welcome to apply—many of the causes we care most about are libertarian, so if you want to work on one of them and we think you’ve got what it takes, we’d consider funding you,” said the organization.
Breitbart asked the group if they were specifically looking for anti-Trump activists.“We’re speaking to people who are anti-Trump, yes, but we’re trying to focus them on political fights that are much, much bigger and more important than partisan politics, and where—in many cases—they’ll find they have a lot of allies among Trump supporters,” FFTF said in response.
“2016 was such a huge defeat for Democrats that you saw *tons* of people reassessing their lives and looking for things they could do politically,” explained a representative for the group.
“As an organization (and speaking for myself individually) we think who’s in the White House matters *much* less than whether or not Americans can grab onto some kind of control over their political system and their country’s future—that’s the important part, and it’s the part that partisan politics kind of trick people into ignoring.” |
