I donated but only $5/month. Hopefully that is an actual donation after credit card processing fees. Hopefully I can make it $10/month later this year.

- geofft 10y agoThank you. I know "every bit counts" is corny, but we can do the math: $5 less Stripe processing fees (to pick a representative number) is $4.55. If every one of the 65,844,954 who voted for Hillary donated $4.55 a month, that would be just shy of $300 million a month. The ACLU's 2015 financials showed them operating on $94 million a year ($79 million of which was from normal contributions): https://www.charitynavigator.org/?bay=search.summary&orgid=3247 https://www.charitynavigator.org/?bay=search.summary&orgid=3... In 2015, they laid off 7% of their staff, saying that they had a regular annual deficit of $15 million: http://wpo.st/6DkW2 http://wpo.st/6DkW2 If you and everyone else who supports the ACLU's goals donates $5 a month, the ACLU would be orders of magnitude better funded and more effective.
