BLM co-founder's nonprofit moves to operate in other states as it avoids filing financial docs Patrisse Cullors' nonprofit was warned by California's attorney general's office https://www.foxnews.com/politics/blm-patrisse-cullors-financial-records-nonprofit-california A social justice nonprofit chaired by Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors is moving to operate in other states as it avoids filing required financial documents in California, filings show. Cullors’ nonprofit, Dignity and Power Now, was warned by California’s attorney general’s office in March over its failure to file all the required financial documents for 2019. According to state records, Dignity and Power Now is currently delinquent in California, where it is incorporated. "A delinquent organization may not engage in any activity for which registration is required, including solicitation or disbursing of charitable assets," reads an earlier warning sent to Cullors’ nonprofit from California’s Registry of Charitable Trusts, which was first reported by the Daily Signal. But as the nonprofit remains in a delinquent state, records show that the organization has been active as it continues sidestepping its required financial forms. Just weeks after receiving its latest warning, Dignity and Power Now submitted an Application for Certificate of Authority on April 1 with North Carolina’s secretary of state’s office to conduct business in the state. Cullors is listed as an officer in the documents. "As a condition of their tax-exempt status, nonprofit groups are required by the IRS and state regulators to disclose significant information about their finances," said Peter Flaherty, chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center. "It is important for groups soliciting donations to file accurately and on time." Dignity and Power Now, which formed in 2012, has failed to file an audited financial statement to accompany the group’s 2019 tax forms, which did not include the required signature of an officer. An audited financial statement is conducted by an independent outside party to attest to the accuracy of all of the financial information that is shown in a group’s tax forms. Dignity and Power Now did not respond to a request for comment. "When a nonprofit that engages in advocacy is supported by a small number of wealthy individuals or big corporations, disclosure is even more important so the public can make its own judgements about whether there is a hidden agenda," Flaherty said. "When it comes to state-level regulation of charities, filing delinquencies and problems in one state can definitely affect a nonprofit's standing in others." Cullors’ nonprofit does not identify its donors in the tax forms it has disclosed, but the Washington Free Beacon reported that between 2017 and 2020, Dignity and Power Now received $2.8 million from the charitable vehicles of Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz. Moskovitz also provided more than $2.3 million to Reform L.A. Jails, another group founded by Cullors. Reform L.A. Jails paid Cullors’s consulting firm, Janaya and Patrisse Consulting, more than $20,000 a month as she served as its chair, the Daily Caller reported. Moskovitz and his wife, Cari Tuna, have been ardent financial backers of left-wing social justice groups. Tuna has bankrolled Black Lives Matters activist Shaun King’s Real Justice PAC, which has also paid Cullors’ consulting firm $78,000 for management and strategy services, Federal Election Commission records show. Moskovtiz’s donations received attention after Facebook recently moved to censor critical stories on Cullors’ $3.2 million real-estate buying binge that included the BLM leader scooping up four homes. Cullors also allegedly eyed property in the Bahamas at a ritzy resort where Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods own homes, the New York Post reported. It is unclear where all of Cullors’ cash is coming from, but last year the self-proclaimed Marxist landed a Warner Brothers TV production deal to "raise Black voices on streaming services and traditional TV channels." Dignity and Power Now did not report any payments directly to Cullors in its rejected tax forms, and she claims that the BLM Global Network Foundation, the main nonprofit in the BLM network, does not give her a salary. The nonprofit said it raised $90 million in 2020. The BLM Global Network Foundation, however, is fiscally sponsored by Thousand Currents, meaning it is not required to file tax forms showing its detailed cash flow. All of the reported payments to Cullors so far have gone to her consulting firm and not directly to her in the form of a salary. BLM Global Network Foundation did not respond to a request for comment on if they had paid her consulting firm at any point.
At its core the issues BLM bring up is really an indictment of the local government units that set local policing policies.....In the areas BLM is protesting these Government units are Democrats. Aren't these local policies just a new strain of institutional racism ( slavery to Jim crow to separate but equal) This all stems from the racism DNA that is embedded in the Democrat philosophy
BLM co-founder promotes book she cheerfully compares to Mao's 'Little Red Book' in unearthed video Patrisse Cullors seemingly praised the communist leader's famous book https://www.foxnews.com/politics/blm-patrisse-cullors-maos-red-book A newly resurfaced video shows Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors excitedly promoting a book she compares to an iconic set of writings that fueled Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution. The video shows Cullors at an event touting "The 7 Components of Transformative Organizing Theory" by communist sympathizer Eric Mann. During her talk, Cullors discusses how she agreed with a man who purportedly said Mann's work reminded him of Mao's "Little Red Book." "I was speaking to this young person from Arizona who is trying to fight S.B. 1070," she said, apparently referring to the measure requiring immigrants to carry documentation in the state. "He grabbed the book and he said, 'It's like Mao's Red Book,'" a smiling Cullors recalled in the video, which was flagged by The National Pulse on Thursday. "And I was like, 'Man that's what I was thinking.' And it was just really cool to hear him make that connection." "And I was like, 'How about you buy like 10-15 of these books and you all have like a youth organizing group where you talk about it and you really try to engage this — we need to build off of this," she added. The event appeared to be sponsored by The Strategy Center, where Mann is currently a director. According to his bio on the center's website, Mann is "a 48-year veteran in anti-war, labor, and environmental organizing." His bio adds that he's worked "extensively with Congress of Racial Equality, Students for a Democratic Society, and the United Auto Workers." A HuffPost article bearing his byline praises the violent October Revolution in Russia, which preceded the Soviet Union. "As we in the United States try to imagine a revolutionary opposition to the U.S. imperialist system a great appreciation of the achievements of the Russian revolution and the Soviet Union is a critical part of our revolutionary future," the 2017 article reads. The video shed even greater light on the Marxist background of Cullors, whose organization has been involved for years with racial protests that have sometimes turned violent. She previously described herself and her co-founder, Alicia Garza, as "trained Marxists." Encyclopedia Britannica describes the "Little Red Book" as a simplified and dogmatized version of Mao’s thought. It was used to popularize Mao's philosophy and was mandatory reading for those in need of "reeducation." One of the sayings in Mao's book reads: "Every Communist must grasp the truth: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." Another reads: "A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery... A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another." Cullors and BLM did not respond to Fox News' requests for comment.
Not much good is going to come out of that movement, when they talk about revolution. Didn't work out too well for them, in the end.

She will have to find some other way to grift people... Black Lives Matter Co-Founder Patrisse Cullors Resigns Following Criticism Over Her Lavish Lifestyle https://www.unilad.co.uk/life/black...ollowing-criticism-over-her-lavish-lifestyle/ Patrisse Cullors, one of the co-founders of the Black Lives Matter movement, has stepped down from her role as executive director following controversy surrounding her allegedly lavish lifestyle. The 37-year-old announced the news of her resignation yesterday, May 27, before completing her last day at the organisation today. She has said her decision to step down from her position with Black Lives Matter is unrelated to what she described as ‘right-wing attacks that tried to discredit [her] character,’ and criticism from other Black activists, maintaining instead that she is going to focus on her upcoming second book and TV development deal with Warner Bros. The announcement comes after Cullors faced criticism for buying four ‘high-end’ homes in the US, which are reportedly worth $3.2 million dollars according to property records cited by the New York Post. When news of the purchases came to light, Hawk Newsome, the head of a separate organisation, Black Lives Matter Greater New York City, called for an ‘independent investigation’ as to how Cullors’ group spends its money. At the time, Newsome commented: If you go around calling yourself a socialist, you have to ask how much of her own personal money is going to charitable causes. It’s really sad because it makes people doubt the validity of the movement and overlook the fact that it’s the people that carry this movement. Cullors has denied the accusations, slamming them as ‘categorically untrue and incredibly dangerous,’ and telling AP News: ‘Those were right-wing attacks that tried to discredit my character, and I don’t operate off of what the right thinks about me.’ In a statement regarding the controversy, the Black Lives Matter Foundation said: As a registered 501c3 non-profit organisation, [the foundation] cannot and did not commit any organisational resources toward the purchase of personal property by any employee or volunteer. Any insinuation or assertion to the contrary is categorically false. Further criticism came after the Black Lives Matter Foundation announced in February that it had raised £63 million amid protests following the murder of George Floyd, and that it spent a quarter of its assets on grants to several Black-led organisations as well as on operating expenses. In response to the news, critics have said more money should have gone to the families of Black victims who have been killed at the hands of police.

The woke and Marxists were selling the false promise that black people will get a reward if they have a revolution ... A bit like the religious leaders of old selling salvation ..
