A leader of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (GNF) is accused of syphoning more than $10 million from donors, the organisation’s grassroots arm, said in a court filing.
The lawsuit is against executive Shalomyah Bowers, the foundation itself, Bowers’ consultant and unidentified individuals.
Bowers was hired by BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors in 2020 to help run the Global Black Lives Matter Network Foundation (GNF), an extension of the grassroots Black Lives Matter organisation, the suit says.
Bowers has denied the allegations made in the lawsuit, which the BLM Grassroots filed at a press conference last week, saying in a statement posted on the BLM’s website that the allegations are prejudicial, conflicting and untrue. The trial continues.
