Report: Unclear Who Manages BLM, $60M Bankroll

It is unclear who leads the Black Lives Matter foundation and manages its $60 million bankroll, according to an investigation by the Washington Examiner.

The inquiry comes almost six months after BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors resigned as executive director to focus on other projects and appointed two activists to serve as the group’s senior directors — although neither Makani Themba nor Monifa Bandele took the jobs due to disagreements with the foundation, according to the Examiner.

Themba and Bandele say they don’t know who leads the organization.

It is unclear who leads the Black Lives Matter foundation and manages its $60 million bankroll, according to an investigation by the Washington Examiner.

The inquiry comes almost six months after BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors resigned as executive director to focus on other projects and appointed two activists to serve as the group’s senior directors — although neither Makani Themba nor Monifa Bandele took the jobs due to disagreements with the foundation, according to the Examiner.

Themba and Bandele say they don’t know who leads the organization.

”We never actually started in the position, so we never received any detailed information,” Themba said.

BLM board members Shalomyah Bowers and Raymond Howard, the two remaining BLM board members, did not return the Examiner’s request for further information about the hierarchy. In addition, after the Examiner contacted Howard for comment, he changed his LinkedIn profile to read that he serves as director of operations for a ”Non Profit.”
