Black Lives Matter (BLM) Global Network Foundation paid close to $4 million in total to its board secretary, the brother of co-founder Patrisse Cullors, and the father of Cullors’s child, new tax forms reveal.
The form prepared on May 12 shows that between July 2020 and June 2021, the group paid nearly $2.17 million in service fees to Bowers Consulting Firm, a company run by BLM board member and secretary Shalomyah Bowers. Bowers also previously served as the foundation’s deputy executive director.
The foundation, which serves as an umbrella organization for the BLM movement, also paid roughly $1.8 million to people with close ties to Cullors, while a grant of more than $8 million was given to a charity co-founded by her spouse, three-quarters of which went to the purchase of a Toronto mansion.
Cullors Protection LLC, a security firm owned by Cullors’s brother Paul Cullors, received about $841,000 for “professional security services,” according to a 63-page tax filing released by the organization. The filing was initially obtained by The Associated Press.
