New documents reveal that insiders at the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) have had millions of dollars in contracts issued to companies they own.
The Daily Caller first reported that the nation’s largest BLM organization authorized massive contracts to firms owned by leaders of the organization and their family members between July 2022 and June 2023.
BLMGNF paid BOWERS, a consulting firm that is at least 35% owned by Shalomyah Bowers, the secretary of BLMGNF’s board, nearly $2.6 million during the time frame for “staffing and management services,” according to tax filings.
Bowers is also the treasurer of the Black Lives Matter Political Action Committee, the PAC affiliated with BLMGNF. In 2023, the majority of the PAC’s expenses were directed by Bowers towards paying his own firm for “strategic consulting services.”
