The Democratic National Committee’s donor platform, ActBlue, is in trouble. Republican lawmakers have targeted the organization as a potential money-laundering operation while it faces internal chaos after at least seven senior officials departed, a report claims.
The New York Times reports a lawyer at the firm accused ActBlue executives of a retaliation campaign against staff which is contributing to the turmoil.
It’s unclear what prompted the departures, which began on Feb. 21, according to the report but unions have been acting on their own assumptions while critics allege wealthy funders have been using ActBlue as a slush fund to circumvent contribution limits and funnel money to Democratic candidates.
Two organizations representing ActBlue workers sent a letter to the company’s board of directors citing the “alarming pattern” of the exits, despairing they were “eroding our confidence in the stability of the organization,” the Times reported.
Customer service and partnerships directors that had been with ActBlue for more than a decade are among the departures. Others reportedly include an associate general counsel, the highest-ranking legal counsel; an assistant research director; human resources director; and an engineer who had been with ActBlue for 16 years, the Times set out.
