God this shit it tiresome, giving money people doing social justice isn't funneling money into some "culture war" -- at best you could say that the groups involved see the greatest opposition to their mission is political but these groups aren't political except as a means to an end. They would, (and do, I'm part of one) support politicians on both sides of the aisle so long as they support their mission.

You would be surprised how amenable Republicans at the local level, who don't have to keep up appearances on Twitter, are to social justice -- doubly when someone in their family is a member of one of those disadvantaged groups.

You don't get to say "I don't like this so I'm going to say it's political and then demand you stay out of politics." Literally everything is political.
