Black Lives Matter Shuts Down Fundraising Days After …

Black Lives Mattershut down all of its online fundraising streams late Wednesday afternoon, just days after California threatened to hold the charitys leaders personally liable over its lack of financial transparency.

The move comes less than a week after aWashington Examinerinvestigationfound that BLM has had no known leader in charge of its $60 million bankroll since its co-founder resigned in May. California and Washington recently ordered BLM to cease all fundraising activities in their blue states due to the failure of theBlack Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, the legal entity that represents the national BLM movement, to report information about its finances in 2020, the year it raised tens of millions amid the racial protests and riots that followed George Floyds killing.
