BLM Revolt: Local Chapters Want Answers on Finances, Transparency from National Leaders
https://www.breitbart.com ^ | 1 Dec 2020 | Penny Starr

Leaders of several local Black Lives Matter chapters around the U.S. said in an undated online statement that they want transparency about finances and other operations of the national group, Black Lives Matter Global Network.

The statement begins with questions about changes in the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, including the appointment of Patrisse Cullors as its executive director, the formation of the Black Lives Matter Political Action Committee, and another group, BLM Grassroots.

The local chapters signing the statement include Washington, DC, Chicago, Vancouver, Washington, and Philadelphia:

We, the undersigned chapters, believe that all of these events occurred without democracy, and assert that it was without the knowledge of the majority of Black Lives Matters chapters across the country and world.

We became chapters of Black Lives Matter as radical Black organizers embracing a collective vision for Black people engaging in the protracted struggle for our lives against police terrorism. With a willingness to do hard work that would put us at risk, we expected that the central organizational entity, most recently referred to as the Black Lives Matter Global Network (BLMGN) Foundation, would support us chapters in our efforts to build communally. Since the establishment of BLMGN, our chapters have consistently raised concerns about financial transparency, decision making, and accountability. Despite years of effort, no acceptable internal process of accountability has ever been produced by BLMGN and these recent events have undermined the efforts of chapters seeking to democratize its processes and resources.

The statement said changes need to be made “in the spirit of transparency, accountability, and responsibility to our community, we believe public accountability has become necessary.”

Realizing BLM is a scam doesn’t quite bring them to realizing the Democrat Party is a scam and socialism is a scam, but it’s a start.

Silly, silly people. You’d think after decades of the Jesse HIJACKson/Sharpton ripoff “for the struggle” they’d realize that today’s BLM money is going to the next generation of Jesses and Als.

They know how many millions were given to BLM by corporate America, and the locals want their cuts.

“We, the undersigned chapters, believe that all of these events occurred without democracy”

Someone didn’t get the memo:
Democrats oppose democracy.

If you aren’t rioting nobody cares what you want.

So hit the streets, let’s see some action. Dance for us.
