The Black Lives Matter Organization recently decided to give $3 million to members of the Black community who are financially crippled by the pandemic.
Through the organization’s BLM Survival Fund it has been giving grants of $1,000 to Black activists, Black people who are struggling financially due to Covid-19 and Black family members who have lost loved ones at the hands of law enforcement or while incarcerated.
This move comes after the foundation exclusively shared with the Associated Press this week that it took in over $90 million last year.
The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation says it wants to be known for more than just protests over the deaths of African Americans who have died at the hands of police.
Melina Abdullah Co-Founder of Black Lives Matter in LA spoke with Roland Martin about the finances of the organization during Friday’s edition of #RMU.
