BLMGNF’s supporters will likely have no issue with its lack of accountability at the top. They would say that since the group still has $60 million on hand, and it disclosed where the remaining dollars went, what is the big deal? But this should concern anyone who believes in the Black Lives Matter cause, especially those who donated money assuming it was all going toward police reform.

The bottom line is that Black Lives Matter is not, and likely never was, an organization focused on improving policing in America. Advocates for the cause must ask themselves some fundamental questions: Why would the leaders of such a powerful force for good want to remain faceless? If police violence is such a huge problem – and the organization’s main reason for being – why is there so little mention of it on the Web site or in the financial report?

But getting answers to these questions, as well as finding out how LGBTQIA folks became the priority of an organization founded to address police brutality, is almost impossible from a nonprofit that’s hiding in the shadows.
