UPDATE! In response to this story, the following statement was issued by Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation:
“Patrisse Cullors is the Executive Director of Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF). She serves in this role in a volunteer capacity and does not receive a salary or benefits. Patrisse has received a total of $120,000 since the organization’s inception in 2013, for duties such as serving as spokesperson and engaging in political education work. Patrisse did not receive any compensation after 2019.
To be abundantly clear, as a registered 501c3, BLMGNF cannot and did not commit any organizational resources toward the purchase of personal property by any employee or volunteer. Any insinuation or assertion to the contrary is categorically false.
Patrisse’s work for Black people over the years has made her and others who align with the fight for Black liberation targets of racist violence. The narratives being spread about Patrisse have been generated by right-wing forces intent on reducing the support and influence of a movement that is larger than any one organization. This right-wing offensive not only puts Patrisse, her child and her loved ones in harm’s way, it also continues a tradition of terror by white supremacists against Black activists. All Black activists know the fear these malicious and serious actions are meant to instill: the fear of being silenced, the trauma of being targeted, the torture of feeling one’s family is exposed to danger just for speaking out against unjust systems. We have seen this tactic of terror time and again, but our movement will not be silenced.”
Earlier we reported …
*A coalition of Black Lives Matter (BLM) parents whose children have been killed by law enforcement and activists are holding a protest outside of a residential property owned by BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors.
The coalition is outraged that Cullors went on a real estate buying binge, snagging four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the US alone, according to property records. The latest property she purchased was a $1.4 million home near Malibu. The Topanga Canyon homestead, which includes two houses on a quarter-acre, is just one of three homes Khan-Cullors owns in the Los Angeles area, public records show.
BLM activists contend that Cullors has refused to help some families financially with money that BLM raised to help some families of police violence. BLM Global reported they raised over 90 million dollars in donations.
BLM activist Lisa Simpson whose son Richard Risher was killed by the Los Angeles Police Department in 2016 has videotape evidence that BLM LA president Melina Abdullah who currently has over 3 million dollars at her disposal in her BLM Go Fund me donation page pledged to donated 5,000 dollars to help Simpson with the burial of her son in 2016. Simpson to this date has not received one penny from Abdullah despite the millions of dollars at her disposal. The coalition is also calling for a probe into Cullors finances. They want to know how much Cullors is paid by BLM Global.

“Patrisse Cullors and Melina Abdullah leaders in BLM have raised millions of dollars exploiting Black death and the murders of Black people by law enforcement. BLM is a multi-million-dollar cash cow for them.
“They don’t care about Black lives they care about making a profit of the deaths of Black people. That affords Cullors to spend millions on residential property she owns, and she continues to live a lavish lifestyle. I am not begging or asking anything from Cullors or Abdullah. I simply want Abdullah to keep her word and honor her financial commitment she made on videotape to me. In my opinion Cullors and Abdullah or nothing more than grifters, and con artists who do fundraising off the murders of Black people for their personal gain,” stated Lisa Simpson.
