advocacy and protest organization

Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a movement formed in 2013 with the stated aim of seeking to reform police brutality against African-American suspects and civilians. After getting over $100 million in grants from philanthropic foundations connected to the Democratic Party, the movement returned to national headlines and gained further international attention during the global George Floyd protests in June 2020.

Own Description

Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes.[1]

The intention from the very beginning was to connect Black people from all over the world who have a shared desire for justice to act together in their communities. The impetus for that commitment was, and still is, the rampant and deliberate violence inflicted on blacks by the state.

Other Descriptions

BLM, with its massive funding from known regime change donors like the Ford Foundation and George Soros, might be a tool for a regime change operation in the United States against Donald Trump, or used as a tool in an internal deep state power struggle.[citation needed]

Donors

Among the largest donors to the group, at least indirectly, is the Ford Foundation, which in 2016 gave $100 million to the Black-Led Movement Fund, a fund administered by the philanthropic intermediary Borealis Philanthropy. [2] The Black-Led Movement Fund has in turn provided general operating funding to the Black Lives Matter Foundation several times since 2016. [3] BLMF has also received nearly $1 million in grants for local chapter development from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. [4]

In 2015, members of the Democracy Alliance, a network of super-rich donors and grant makers (nominally 'left', connected to the Democratic Party) organized by billionaire financier George Soros and Taco Bell heir Rob McKay, were encouraged to consider making large-dollar grants to the Black Lives Matter movement[5]. Democratic-leaning mega-donors Tom Steyer and Paul Egerman were also listed by Politico as invited participants. However, it is unclear how much money eventually went to BLMF from this gathering.

It has also been reported by the Washington Times that Soros has given groups associated with the Black Lives Matter movement more than $33 million from his Open Society Foundations (OSF), though it is again unclear if BLMF directly received funding from OSF. [6] [7]

Sponsors

EventDescription
Democracy AllianceA network of billionaire donors who coordinate their political donations to groups that the Alliance has endorsed, anonymously and often through foundations working as middlemen to hide the where the money is coming from.
Ford FoundationIn addition to its own billionaire agenda, also known to have been $$$ middleman for covert CIA funding.
ITVBritish state media. Main rival of the BBC.
Open Society FoundationsA NGO operating in more countries than McDonald's. It has the tendency to support politicians (at times through astroturfing) and activists that get branded as "extreme left" as its founder is billionaire and bane of the pound George Soros. This polarizing perspective causes the abnormal influence of the OSF to go somewhat unanswered.
Procter & GambleHuge multi-billion dollar multinational corporation; specialising in consumer goods.
