Black Lives Matter (BLM) Global Network Foundation paid close to $4 million in total to its board secretary, the brother of co-founder Patrisse Cullors, as well as the father of Cullors’s child, new tax forms reveal.

The form prepared on May 12 shows that between July 2020 and June 2021, the group paid nearly $2.17 million in service fees to Bowers Consulting Firm, a company run by BLM board member and secretary Shalomyah Bowers. Bowers also previously served as the foundation’s deputy executive director.
