BLM

Black Lives Matter (BLM) was founded in 2013 but did not have much money until the George Floyd situation in Minneapolis after which the collected some $90 million dollars. Questions began to arise as to what happened to the money. One of the co-founders Patrisse Cullors propose the original plan to hand over funds to grassroots groups doing the work of abolition but she reneged on the promise when the big bucks started to come in. The money went in many directions but here is on example. Damon Turner a man who fathered a child with Cullors formed a group called Trap Heals LLC and received $97,000 from B|LM. BLM pad $840,000 to Cullors Protection LLC a firm run by Paul Cullors, Patrisse's brother. Shalomyah Bowers, who serves as the BLM secretary was paid $2.1 million for consulting and fund raising. The bulk of the $90 million dollars was not accounted for and no investigation is underway.
