Ten local Black Lives Matter chapters accused the movement’s national arm, BLM Global Network, of providing no acceptable financial transparency surrounding the “unknown millions of dollars” it has received since 2013. “[M]ost chapters have received little to no financial support from BLMGN since the launch in 2013,” the local chapters said in a statement Monday. Multiple founders of the BLM Global Network have said the local BLM chapters are the ones responsible for carrying out the work of the movement. The Daily Caller News Foundation reported in June that BLM Global Network spent $4.5 million on consultants, travel and compensation for its staff from July 2017 through June 2019 while at the same time providing only $328,000 to outside groups such as its local chapters.

Ten local Black Lives Matter chapters issued a statement Monday accusing the movement’s national arm of providing little to no financial support to its local chapters, which are responsible for carrying out BLM’s mission.

The local chapters, including those of Washington, D.C., Chicago and Philadelphia, said in the statement that Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation has provided no acceptable financial transparency surrounding the “unknown millions of dollars” it has reaped since its founding in 2013.

The Daily Caller News Foundation reported in June that Black Lives Matter Global Network spent $4.5 million on consultants, travel and compensation for its staff from July 2017 through June 2019 while at the same time providing only $328,000 to outside groups such as the local autonomous BLM chapters that carry out the movement’s work.

Former BLM Global Network Managing Director Kailee Scales told the DCNF in June that the figures from its fiscal sponsor’s financial statements “do not reflect, for example, the in kind support for chapters and fundraising directed to chapters and programmatic assistance to chapters.”

"... Black Lives Matter ... movement’s national arm, BLM Global Network ... the "unknown millions of dollars" it has received ... the local BLM chapters are the ones responsible for carrying out the work of the movement ... for carrying out BLM's mission.

Fact-Check time. I would slightly edit that to add details and accuracy as follows:

"... Black Lives Don't Actually Matter to Marxist BLM (because 7,000 black people are killed annually in the U.S., the vast majority by other black people, yet the so-called "Black Lives Matter" doesn't even say one word about it) ... movement’s national arm, the Marxist BLM Global Network ... the "unknown millions of dollars" it has received (from George Soros, Marxist Democrats, Corporate America, etc.) ... the local Marxist BLM chapters are the ones responsible for carrying out the violent Marxist BLM/Antifa wild thug mob riot activities work of the radical extremist left-wing movement ... for carrying out Marxist BLM's extremist radical mission.

Yeah, but “unknown” millions of dollars matter to a few. I suppose the $40 TRILLION tax dollars spent since cra64 is just short of finally making an impact on communities of color. So, corporate ‘Murica gotta pay up. Or face being labeled-————RACIS’!

That's the idiocy of all Democrat politicians -- just throw $TRILLIONS at something, and any issues are magically resolved overnight. Just like they're also talking up $100 TRILLION (or far more) for the insane GND.

Democrats.
