Black Lives Matter used donations to buy $6 million Southern California home: report
Ok, so there is a report from the New York magazine that Black Lives Matter Global network Foundation( BLMGNF) and three of its leaders Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza and Melina Abdullah are not being fully transparent about a $6 million dollar home that was allegedly purchased with donated funds.
After a journalist started to dig and ask questions about the house, known as The Campus internally, they said that there was no report of the transaction and said documents, emails, and other communications they saw about the property’s purchase and day-to-day operation suggest that it has been handled in ways that blur, or cross, boundaries between the charity and private companies owned by some of its leaders.
The journalist stated on March 30th they asked about the house which sparked internal communications that lead to a statement from a BLM board member the following morning saying that the organization bought Campus “with the intention for it to serve as housing and studio space for recipients of the Black Joy Creators Fellowship.” The fellowship, which “provides recording resources and dedicated space for Black creatives to launch content online and in real life focused on abolition, healing justice, urban agriculture and food justice, pop culture, activism, and politics.”
And there will be more on that for sure…we’ll see who is telling the truth there.
