I still get tons of political calls, texts, and emails from donations I made around 2016 and 2020. Is there any organization I can use to donate money that won’t harass me in the future or sell my data to someone else who will?

(I got a text soliciting a political donation while I was typing this question!)

    Why would you want to donate to a political organization? I don’t get it. If you don’t know of a political organization already that you want to support, why go out to find one?

    Your donation could go to a different / better cause than a political party.

      I’m all for removing the influence of money from politics. But as long as money remains the main medium of influence, people not donating to political causes as a matter of principle is effectively removing the influence of people from politics.

      I left out specifics because I didn’t want this thread to become a political debates, but I want to support the people running against fascists, because the fascists will do a hell of a lot worse than sell my contact information. I’d just much rather do it without getting harassed.

        I would recommend not using your regular email address or phone number. I think you might be required to give your real address, though.
