I received this email message from the Liberty Tree Foundation for the Democratic Revolution. Their activist project wants to shut down the US Chamber of Commerce. Your financial support is requested; below are excerpts from that email message.
Three years ago, we thought about taking on the Chamber. But we didn’t because we didn’t have the resources. We talked with friends and potential partners. And that’s all we did; talk.
It turns out that even then, the Chamber was listening. They hired private security firms made up of former military intelligence specialists to spy on our friends, and to spy on us. These firms, HBGary Federal, Palantir, and Berico Technologies (collectively called Team Themis) — developed tactics for damaging progressive groups and labor unions, produced a report that revealed that our executive director, Ben Manski, had met with another pro-democracy activist named Brett Kimberlin.
Earlier this week we raised nearly $1,000 to help us get the Shut the Chamber campaign going. We need to raise another $4,000 by Monday so that we can launch the campaign next week.
Budget cuts are here. The Chamber is to blame. The climate crisis is off Washington’s radar. The Chamber is to blame. Every day counts. Every day that goes by in which the Chamber is unchallenged counts. Please make the most generous contribution you can now.
