Leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement are dismissing allegations that they mismanaged millions of dollars after a New York Magazine report said they purchased a $6 million home in Southern California with donated funds.
The discussion came a week after the New York Magazine report by Sean Campbell renewed questions about the organization’s use of donations. The report revealed that the group secretly bought the 6,500-square-foot house in October 2020 as a hub and headquarters for its members to create content promoting social justice.
The BLM Movement was born in 2013, after George Zimmerman was acquitted of murder in the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin; the global network was created shortly after and, today, has more than 40 chapters around the world,. The movement has worked to advocate for victims of police violence and educate the public about systemic issues plaguing Black communities.
“It just isn’t true. Our largest donor base, previous to me resigning, was always small dollar donors,” Cullors said. “It’s just not true that millions were poured in. At most, our budget was at $1.4” million.
