AFA initiatives, Christian activism, news briefs

June 2019 – PayPal CEO Dan Schulman recently admitted a corporate practice that uses skewed, leftist information from the radical Southern Poverty Law Center. That puts the online payment service at odds with victims of the SPLC because of its practice of labeling Christian groups “hate groups.”

SPLC has been widely discredited by victims of its anti-Christian campaign, and Fox News indicated some groups are advocating a boycott of PayPal.

According to charitynavigator.org, SPLC received $132 million in contributions in 2017 alone and boasted net assets of almost $450 million.

AFA stopped using PayPal about three years ago when it attacked North Carolina for demanding separate men’s and women’s bathrooms. AFA Action director Rob Chambers said, “Our values take precedence [over donations].”
