Where Did Millions of Dollars in Donations to Black Lives Matter Go?

TOWNHALL– Last year Black Lives Matter Inc. raked in tens of millions-of-dollars as cities around the country were burned in riots, totaling more than $1 billion in damage. 

But according to a new report from the Associated Press, the $90 million donated to the political group in 2020 isn’t reaching local activists. BLM has been around since 2014 and has been backed by big name celebrities and the Democrat Party.

A group of 10 chapters, called the #BLM10, rejected the foundation’s funding offer last year and complained publicly about the lack of donor transparency. Foundation leaders say only a few of the 10 chapters are recognized as network affiliates.

In a letter released Nov. 30, the #BLM10 claimed most chapters have received little to no financial resources from the BLM movement since its launch in 2013. That has had adverse consequences for the scope of their organizing work, local chapter leaders told the AP.

The chapters are simply asking for an equal say in “this thing that our names are attached to, that they are doing in our names,” said April Goggans, organizer of Black Lives Matter DC, which is part of the #BLM10 along with groups in Indianapolis, Oklahoma City, San Diego, Hudson Valley, New York, and elsewhere.

“We are BLM. We built this, each one of us,” she said.

Records show some chapters have received multiple rounds of funding in amounts ranging between $800 and $69,000, going back as far as 2016. The #BLM10 said the amounts given have been far from equitable when compared to how much BLM has raised over the years.

Another report recently published in POLITICO shows many individuals who founded the movement continue to take advantage of its public success while shafting local activists.  more

  2. Speaking of Black Lives Splatter, I’m building a gun for the head of detectives for our local Sheriffs department. Who’s retiring at like 45 years old and moving to Idaho. But that’s another story. Home Land Security is sending memos out claiming to expect a lot of trouble from BLMANTIFA this summer. They’re saying that both groups have been training all winter long for a hot summer.

  10. And, and, and… the NY Att Gen is suing the NRA for financial irregularities.

    Not that his doing so is not a blessing in disguise given the Shenanigan’s of LaPierre et all, but c’mon it is blatantly obvious that the BLM grift makes that look like child’s pay in comparison.

  11. It’d money laundering. The money goes back to the democrat party.

    Who’d ever thought saying ‘democrat party’ felt like saying ‘nazi party’. The historical parallels are astounding.

    Pelosi will become president in 2021. You’ll see.

    No a rifle, Creedmoor on a AR10 platform. I am milling up a commander sized 1911 out of titanium in my spare time. At the rate it’s going I should have it done in about 50 years. LOL

  13. NO scholarships for black students.
    NO grocery stores in black food desserts.
    NO rebuilding of crumbling black cities.

    Just what da fuck are they doing with all this money besides lining theirs and politicians pockets?

  16. Where did the money go? 24″ rims, beats headphones, Nike’s, Waffle house, strip clubs, Dom Perignon, weed, future baby mommas, baggy pants, backwards hats, gold teeth and tattoos.

  20. The symbol for BLM should change from a fist to only the middle finger up. BLM…Blatant Lefty Members,
    Or, Bullshit Labeled Messaging, Blacks Looking Menacing.
