She serves in this role in a volunteer capacity and does not receive a salary or benefits. Patrisse has received a total of $120,000 since the organization\u2019s inception in 2013, for duties such as serving as spokesperson and engaging in political education work. Patrisse did not receive any compensation after 2019,\u201d the statement began.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The organization then explicitly reiterated their rejection of the claim that Cullors received any \u201corganizational resources.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cTo be abundantly clear, as a registered 501c3, BLMGNF cannot and did not commit any organizational resources toward the purchase of personal property by any employee or volunteer.

The narratives being spread about Patrisse have been generated by right-wing forces intent on reducing the support and influence of a movement that is larger than any one organization. This right-wing offensive not only puts Patrisse, her child and her loved ones in harm\u2019s way, it also continues a tradition of terror by white supremacists against Black activists. All Black activists know the fear these malicious and serious actions are meant to instill: the fear of being silenced, the trauma of being targeted, the torture of feeling one\u2019s family is exposed to danger just for speaking outagainst unjust systems. We have seen this tactic of terror time and again, but our movement will not be silenced.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>This statement makes no mention of the arguable hypocrisy demonstrated by Cullors, which is the actual subject of much of the criticism she is now facing, which involves her continued claim of victimization despite her apparently considerable personal wealth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
