      I doubt it actually, they’re just real serious about their crazy laws and there’s a crazy law about no foreign flags.

      A subtle control many feel is the risk of conflict. The local church near us was our boxing location for boxes for the hungry and unhoused, and when they found out that the lead person on the food boxes program was also attending pro palestine rallies, they cut off their participation in food boxes. They arent a jewish temple, and they obviously have no jewish members, but they fear conflict with the jewish community or some backhanded impact from funders or their spouses. So they will have nothing to do with anyone who endangers a cent of their funding. In a way I get it, but its not great and we were disrupted for a bit so some people suffered. 501c3 boards dont deal with pressure or risk very well, and they avoid conflict at all costs.
