The tax documents of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) group have revealed that despite having a near $9 million dollar deficit last year, millions of dollars were paid out to executives of the organization. What&#8217;s more, the majority of the money was spent funding companies owned by individuals with close ties to the group. This news has caused uproar among supporters and critics alike.<\/p>\n<p>For example, $1.69 million was paid to a company owned by Shalomyah Bowers, who replaced Patrisse Cullors, \u201cfor management and consulting services.\u201d It has been reported that Cullors quit over additional financial scandals before being replaced by Bowers. Black Lives Matter Grassroots, which is a sister organization to BLM, accused Bowers of \u201cblazing a path of irreparable harm to BLM\u201d and \u201csiphoning\u201d millions to his firm.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u201cInstead of using the donations for its intended purposes, Mr. Bowers diverted these donations to his own coffers,\u201d the group claimed in a lawsuit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Danielle Edwards, a board member, also owned a firm \u201cwhich was paid $1,063,500 for consulting services,\u201d auditors said. The only current salaried employee last year for the organization was Cullors\u2019 graffiti-artist brother, Paul Cullors, who received around $125,000 with an additional $15,000 defined as \u201cother compensation.\u201d Along with his salary, his security firm, Black Ties LLC, was paid $756,330, which is about the same wage amount from the year prior.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>The auditors\u2019 review stated: \u201cA sibling of the former Executive Director owned a security and protection company, which was paid $1,602,185 for security services.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not all. BLM has also agreed to pay $600,000 to a previous unidentified member of the board\u2019s consulting firm \u201cin connection with a contract dispute,\u201d which was disclosed in its audited financial statements. Black Lives Matter has spent around $60 million of the $90 million it raised, with only $30 million in assets remaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A protester in Rochester, NY wearing a Black Panther jacket confronts police with a &#8220;Black Lives Matter&#8221; flag on 5 Sep 2020.
