Simply put, the crowd most effective raised about $8.5 million ultimate 12 months however they spent $17 million. Their internet belongings went from $41 million right down to $30 million. Where did all of this cash move? It turns out a host of it went to Patrisse Cullors family and friends,
Cullors’ brother, Paul Cullors, made out particularly smartly.

The plummeting of donations to GNF is additional proof that donors need to fund the paintings, no longer high-priced experts. Black Lives Matter Grassroots is engaged in a combat for the soul of Black Lives Matter.
