I do not take that statement lightly &#8211; I have experienced my fair share of abusive and manipulative relationships and I previously worked for a domestic violence and sexual assault crisis center,&#8221; the ex-employee wrote. &#8220;Everytown as an organization and Everytown\u2019s management really meet all the criteria.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wow.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It gets worse.  They blast the leadership of the organization for exploiting a tragedy to reap financial gain.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Field Team is paid the least within the organization, this team includes the SURVIVORS OF GUN VIOLENCE, Moms Demand Action, and Students Demand Action. There is cliquey energy within this team with the white women who have been around &#8216;since the beginning&#8217; aka since a white woman who had absolutely no connection to Sandy Hook decided to &#8216;take action&#8217; via Facebook and later profit massively from it,&#8221; they wrote.  &#8220;Spoiler alert: these women are now managers\/directors and are part of the reason why talented staff leaves, especially staff of color.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/everytown-3m-boot-camp-gun-control-activists-politicians\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"former-employee-issues-most-damning-critique-of-everytown-its-like-being-in-an-abusive-relationship\" title=\"Former Employee Issues Most Damning Critique of Everytown: 'It's like being in an abusive relationship'\u00a0\">Everytown Spending $3M on Boot Camp to Turn Gun-Control Activists into Politicians<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One can safely assume this individual is talking about Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a subsidiary of Everytown for Gun Safety.  Despite not having any explicit connection to the Everytown tragedy, Watts founded Moms Demand Action on social media in the aftermath of Sandy Hook.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2013, Watts merged her group with Bloomberg&#8217;s anti-gun outfit, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, to form Everytown for Gun Safety.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"596\" title=\"Former Employee Issues Most Damning Critique of Everytown: 'It's like being in an abusive relationship'\u00a0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-07-at-1.23.55-PM-1024x596.png\" alt=\"Former Employee Issues Most Damning Critique of Everytown: 'It's like being in an abusive relationship'\u00a0\" class=\"wp-image-143959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-07-at-1.23.55-PM-1024x596.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-07-at-1.23.55-PM-400x233.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-07-at-1.23.55-PM-150x87.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-07-at-1.23.55-PM-768x447.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-07-at-1.23.55-PM-1536x894.png 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-07-at-1.23.55-PM.png 1546w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Shannon Watts on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow.  (<em>Photo: MSNBC<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Though Bloomberg and Watts claim the goal of the organization is to eradicate gun-related violence, the former employee says that&#8217;s not the case at all.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I want to circle back to this idea of working &#8216;for the cause&#8217; &#8211; in Everytown\u2019s case, senior management actually has no intention of ending gun violence, especially outside of gun violence that white children might experience. This organization is used as a shiny, feel good, star for the wealthy, white folks at the top. It\u2019s all politics,&#8221; they observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Instead of investing millions or hundreds of thousands of dollars into communities, with violence intervention programs that have been proven to work, they will literally donate millions (y\u2019all can look it up) into political races and into the hands of legislators to get what they want,&#8221; they continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/everytown-law-announces-3m-war-chest-to-eliminate-2a-rights-via-the-courts\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"former-employee-issues-most-damning-critique-of-everytown-its-like-being-in-an-abusive-relationship\" title=\"Former Employee Issues Most Damning Critique of Everytown: 'It's like being in an abusive relationship'\u00a0\">Everytown Law Announces $3M War Chest to Eliminate 2A Rights Via the Courts&nbsp;<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Again, not based on what a community wants &#8211; it doesn\u2019t matter if Black and brown folks will be over policed by a policy Everytown paid to come to fruition because Everytown does it to look &#8216;good&#8217; (to white people). Remember, saying &#8216;police violence is gun violence&#8217; was a highly radical statement until they needed to look woke in their listserv when George Floyd was murdered,&#8221; they added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To their point, incidentally, Everytown <a href=\"https:\/\/bluevirginia.us\/2021\/09\/everytown-for-gun-safety-pledges-to-spend-upwards-of-1-8-million-in-support-of-va-democrats-in-2021-election\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"former-employee-issues-most-damning-critique-of-everytown-its-like-being-in-an-abusive-relationship\" title=\"Former Employee Issues Most Damning Critique of Everytown: 'It's like being in an abusive relationship'\u00a0\">announced this week<\/a> that it would be spending $1.8 million in the 2021 Virginia elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The former employee insists that they&#8217;re not alone in feeling this way, that they know at least five others who are &#8220;actively trying to quit&#8221; and over 20 more who are similarly disgruntled but don&#8217;t leave because &#8220;the beginning charm of this abusive relationship flares up and keeps them going like a free lunch, a new sweatshirt, working remotely for many Field staff, or maybe they just need to keep the good benefits for their family.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, they warn potential job-seekers to stay away at all costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This organization is beyond change, beyond saving. This harm is intentional. Do not waste your life like so many of us did,&#8221; they wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ouch!!!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if I&#8217;m being honest, I&#8217;m not surprised.  Not at all.  A fish rots from the head down.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stands to reason then, that an organization as misguided as Everytown, one whose true purpose is the full-scale elimination of one&#8217;s Constitutional right to keep and bear arms, would ultimately adopt the core ethos of its most prominent benefactor, the cretinous and corrupt Michael Bloomberg.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s it like to work for the Bloomberg-financed Everytown for Gun Safety?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":142703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,216,240],"tags":[132,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-151578","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-s-h-blannelberry","9":"category-this-week","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Former Employee Issues Most Damning Critique of Everytown: &#039;It&#039;s like being in an abusive relationship&#039;\u00a0<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"What\u2019s it like to work for the Bloomberg-financed Everytown for Gun Safety?
