Beware of sleazy "progressive" McActivism sweatshops that chew up young progressives...

38. yeah, i know about them. visited twice the office at berkeley, ca.

heh, silly me. first time i refused, but the second time i thought it was a real job application (edit: granted there was like an 8 year difference between). called ahead of time, heard the name, was desperate enough to give it a chance, got there -- nah, it's still just the calling center sweatshop for canvassers.

when i was learning grant writing i asked why the hell do groups bother with this and mass mailers? apparently they work. they only need to work greater than 1% of the time or something, but they work enough that other 501c3 keep using their services.

if i was in a 501c3 my first task would be to clean up the (usual) mess of the regional office and make sure the rolodex is perpetually up to date. that'd save enough money and give a pool to build community action and funding that you'd think you could go without these stupid for-profit sweatshops. but whatever, business as usual, forever. it's the american way.
