Styles P has questions about who’s receiving the money donated to Black Lives Matter. The LOX member wondered about the organization’s funds in multiple Twitter posts on Thursday (June 11).
“Where is the money being donated going ?” he wrote. “Who is the treasurer blm ? Do they have leaders in every city they contact ? Is it a board ? and where are the headquarters located?”

BLM was co-founded by Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi in 2013. The organization has chapters in Boston, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, Lansing, Long Beach, Memphis, Nashville, New York, Philadelphia, South Bend and Washington, D.C. in the United States.
Toronto, Vancouver and Waterloo also have chapters in Canada.
On BLM’s website, donations are said to fund the “ongoing fight to end state-sanctioned violence, liberate Black people and end white supremacy forever.” The donate page uses ActBlue Charities, a nonprit online fundraising platform for Democratic candidates, progressive organizations and other nonprits.

“ActBlue is not run by the ficial Democratic Party or any other organization,” the platform says on its site. “We are a mission-based organization, which is why only Democrats (not Republicans) can use our tools to fundraise. We are an independent nonprit with an executive board.”
According to ActBlue, there is a 3.95 percent processing fee on all transacations. This would apply for any donation to BLM.
