The AP Interview: BLM’s Patrisse Cullors denies wrongdoing
Associated PressLOS ANGELES — No, insists Patrisse Cullors, former leader of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation: Despite allegations of financial improprieties, neither she nor anyone else in leadership misused millions of dollars in donations. He said the property purchase could be weaponized by movement opponents, leading possible donors to shy away from Black-led social justice organizations: “That’s the thing that you don’t want to get out of hand.” Cullors defended the purchase. “We really wanted to make sure that the global network foundation had an asset that wasn’t just financial resources,” she said, “and we understood that not many Black-led organizations have property.” Cullors said she had made mistakes and even some regrettable choices that haven’t fostered trust. Along with the expected May release of its latest 990 filing, the audit will show that “nothing impermissible or nefarious has happened” with BLM’s finances, Bowers said.
