Local Black Lives Matter groups released a statement claiming they received “little to no” financial support from the national organization, which has raised millions of dollars in the name of social justice and racial inequality.

BLM groups form New Jersey, Washington, D.C. and eight other locations wrote in a statement released today:

For years there has been inquiry regarding the financial operations of BLMGN and no acceptable process of either public or internal transparency about the unknown millions of dollars donated to BLMGN, which has certainly increased during this time of pandemic and rebellion.

To the best of our knowledge, most chapters have received little to no financial support from BLMGN since the launch in 2013. It was only in the last few months that selected chapters appear to have been invited to apply for a $500,000 grant created with resources generated because of the organizing labor of chapters. This is not the equity and financial accountability we deserve.

The Black Lives Matter DC chapter released the statement on Twitter today and wrote, “For years, Black Lives Matter Global Network (@Blklivesmatter) has undermined the work & integrity of local chapters — including BLM DC.”

In an article today, the Daily Caller pointed to its June report which found the Black Lives Matter Global Network (BLMGN) shelled out $4.5 million on “consultants, travel and compensation for its staff from July 2017 through June 2019.” Meanwhile, BLMGN only gave $328,000 to local groups.
