A coalition of 26 BlackLivesMatter local chapters are suing the leaders of the national organization saying they stole $10 million in contributions.
“Black Lives Matter Grassroots (BLMGR), a nonprofit that serves as the umbrella group for local BLM chapters nationwide, claimed in the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court that Shalomyah Bowers, the leader of Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF), defrauded the local chapters for "unjust enrichment" and used their funds as his "personal piggy bank."
BLMGNF, which received more than $90 million in the wake of George Floyd’s death in 2020, represents the national BLM movement.”
Attorney Walter Mosley is the attorney representing BLM Grassroots, he says in court filings that Bowers “[blazed] a path of irreparable harm to BLM in less than eighteen months. While BLM leaders and movement workers were on the street risking their lives, Mr. Bowers remained in his cushy offices devising a scheme of fraud and misrepresentation to break the implied-in-fact contract between donors and BLM."
Earlier this year, New York magazine reported that BLM national leaders secretly bought a $6 million home in L.A.
Is anyone surprised by all of this?
Where are all the woke corporations & pro-sports leagues that cut big checks to the group?
