Black Lives Matter of Greater New York chair Hawk Newsome questions how much Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors has contributed to charity.

Black Lives Matter grew on the backs of deaths in police custody and raised $90million in donations. However, many beleived that money was used for the democratic party’s political gain and little to none was invested in the black community.

Some families such as Mike Brown’s were outraged and demanded money from the organisation.

Last year, the organisation was the main vehicle in linking deaths in police custody to the Trump presidency but has remained absolutely silent on each and every death that has occured since Biden won.

Proud lesbian and co-founder of BLM Patrisse Cullors is under heavy scrutiny. Many are calling for an investigation into Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors over million-dollar real estate purchases she’s made in recent years.

Cullors, 37, has reportedly purchased four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the U.S. alone, per New York Post, including property in a mostly white area of Topanga Canyon in Los Angeles County for $1.4 million.

BLM reportedly brought in $90 million in donations last year, and questions have emerged about if or how Cullors is paid by the organization and how much she has contributed to charity, per Daily Mail. Hawk Newsome, the head of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, is calling for a probe into Cullors’ finances.

“If you go around calling yourself a socialist, you have to ask how much of her own personal money is going to charitable causes,” he told the Post. “It’s really sad because it makes people doubt the validity of the movement and overlook the fact that it’s the people that carry this movement,” he continued.

Newsome’s organization, Black Lives Matter of Greater New York — which he represents during television appearances and interviews — is not affiliated with Black Lives Matter Global Network, which was co-founded by Cullors along with Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi.
