California authorized the national Black Lives Matter group to resume fundraising in the state on Wednesday, less than two weeks after the charity pulled an unusual accounting gimmick that enabled it to further delay reporting its 2020 finances until mid-May.
California had previously ordered Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation to cease fundraising in the state in a Jan. 31 letter that also threatened to hold the leaders of the charity personally liable if they don’t fork over information about what the group did with its financial windfall from 2020. The liberal state’s greenlight to BLM to resume fundraising also comes less than two weeks after the charity revealed that two longtime allies of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had taken key roles at the group.
“BLMGNF is current in its reporting to the Registry and is authorized to solicit in California,” a spokesperson for the California attorney general’s office told the Washington Examiner.
