'Where did Kamala’s billions go.'

<https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dnc-union-launches-gofundme-help-former-employees-hit-massive-layoffs?intcmp=tw_fnc>

'The union representing members of the Democratic National Committee
launched a GoFundMe to raise money for staffers who were abruptly laid
off last week – prompting backlash from those still on the DNC payroll
who have described the cuts as a "betrayal" of party values.

The GoFundMe created by the DNC union seeks to raise $25,000 to assist
staff impacted by the layoffs following their losses in the 2024
election.

Members of the DNC staff union said on the fundraising page that the
abrupt wave of layoffs had included two-thirds of DNC staffers, who were
let go with little notice and with "no severance."

In a public statement, the union blasted DNC leadership for the layoffs,
which they described as "callous" and "short-sighted" – and which they
noted extended to employees who were previously told their positions at
the DNC would be safe after Election Day.

"We are heartbroken to see our colleagues – who dedicated countless
hours to electing Democrats up and down the ballot – depart under these
circumstances, and we are furious with DNC leadership for failing to
provide severance to those affected," DNC staff union organizer Jill
Brownfield wrote on the GoFundMe page.

"Every cycle, political organizations scale up to meet the demands, and
as the cycle comes to a close, it's a tough reality of our industry that
we must part with talented, hardworking staff," a DNC spokesperson told
Fox News Digital in a statement.

Officials also stressed that the DNC had met the terms of the Collective
bargaining Agreement (or CBA) that was negotiated.

"While the DNC has met the terms of the union agreement negotiated by
the CBA, we share the entire DNC family's frustration and continue to
provide resources to all members of the team to support them in this
transition," the spokesperson added.

DNC union officials said the GoFundMe proceeds will "directly aid" staff
members hit by the layoffs, including single parents and workers
expecting children, and will be "distributed equally to any laid-off
member who opts in to receive funds."

"We hope these funds can soften the economic blow for those impacted."

The fundraising effort comes less than a week after the DNC announced
its wave of layoffs Wednesday night.

The cuts were met with scathing criticism by current DNC employees and
union members.

"The DNC’s senior leadership has chosen to leave loyal staff scrambling
to cover rent, medical expenses and childcare costs," the union’s
statement read.

They also called on Democratic Party leadership to offer severance to
every permanent employee who was laid off, and to address the remaining
staff "honestly and transparently" about how to move forward.
