Some of the biggest donors on the left plan to meet behind closed doors next week in Washington with leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement and their allies to discuss funding the burgeoning protest movement, POLITICO has learned.
The meetings are taking place at the annual winter gathering of the Democracy Alliance major liberal donor club, which runs from Tuesday evening through Saturday morning and is expected to draw Democratic financial heavyweights, including Tom Steyer and Paul Egerman.
The DA, as the club is known in Democratic circles, is recommending its donors step up check writing to a handful of endorsed groups that have supported the Black Lives Matter movement. And the club and some of its members also are considering ways to funnel support directly to scrappier local groups that have utilized confrontational tactics to inject their grievances into the political debate.
It's a potential partnership that could elevate the Black Lives Matter movement and heighten its impact. But it's also fraught with tension on both sides, sources tell POLITICO.

BLM is divide & conquer on steroids; black co-workers that had reached the middle class during Bush II’s tenure are now falling behind as the economy continues to decline, and they’re retreating to the race card to explain every professional failure on their part. Ten years ago they were American adults like any other; now they are devolving into childish whiners, looking for racial slights where none exist. The brightest ones just thank God they still have jobs.
Can’t see this too often....love it!
It’s already being funded through the communists and Soros or did I repeat myself? Absurd! Boy! If you remember the sixties, that was a cake walk compared to what these folks are cooking up. The grievances got stirred up by the “big man” in the WH and they are going to take full advantage of it! Where are the counter protesters?
The excrement draws the flies.
“”I think 2 million plus Conservatives boycotting sponsors will fix this problem.””
Boycott sponsors of what? I’d be glad to if I knew who I’m supposed to boycott...
I have no problem believing that this is being orchestrated. But the reason is far simpler: there’s a must-win demographic group within the Democrat coalition that isn’t inclined to support Hillary. They won’t support a Republican, but they will sit at home and not vote.
Since they aren’t inclined to vote for the candidate, their turnout needs to be issues-based. They’re being provided with an issue.
It’s a good, but risky, strategy. The Democrats are banking on the demographic map to have shifted to a point where this will gain them more votes than it costs them. Nixon won in 68 and 72 because of public (silent majority) backlash against social unrest. So the Dems need to thread a needle here in generating enough social unrest to turn out some groups, but not so much that it turns out other groups for the Republican.

Peyton Head visited the White House four times. It sounds like he was receiving training.
“Boycott sponsors of what? I’d be glad to if I knew who I’m supposed to boycott...”
Excellent point. When we find out who the donors are we go from there.
This has to really piss of jesse jackson and al sharpton. Have they lost rights to the race baiter shakedown?
So they are cool with being racist, as long as it is against the right race, huh?
“Major donors consider funding Black Lives Matter”
HA! Strike “consider” and them you’ll have an accurate headline. Major Donors Funding Black Lives Matter
