Donations to Black Lives Matter.com fund violence & de-fund police? Yep!

Follow the money!  When you donate to Black Lives Matter — where exactly does that money go?   And how’s  that money used?

Donations to Black Lives Matter.com  go to a different organization  — Act Blue Charities –  which  can then fund those donations  back to the organization to be  used for whatever  Black Lives Matter.com chooses.

 Everything stays hush hush and the public is kept in the dark.  In 2018 Act Blue Charities on Form 990 with the IRS reported 24 MILLION in pass through revenue with no information as to who received the money.

Are Black Lives Matter.com donations  used to fund urban violence and to de-fund the police?

Black Lives Matter.com’s goal is to de-fund the police and that’s happening in various cities across the U.S. Top law enforcement officials have stepped down in Portland, Atlanta, Los Angeles and Louisville as civic officials have cut police budgets.

What’s happening to police departments ability to keep people safe? Look at Seattle 8/12/2020:

Seattle Police Chief Resigns Amid Budget Cuts, Turmoil (WSJ August 12, 2020)  Seattle’s police chief Ms Best, resigns after council cut $4 million which will result in the loss of  100 officers from  the force of 1,400.

Are  donations  to Black Lives Matter.com  used to fund  violence in  America’s urban cities?

All money donated to Black Lives Matter.com  actually goes to   Act Blue Charities which is a 501 (c) (3)  which  acts as an  umbrella organization  for an unknown number of accounts.

Act Blue Charities says  that its mission is to democratize charitable giving by facilitation grassroots online fundraising to ELIGIBLE 501 (c) (3) organizations. 

But here’s the rub — Black Lives Matters.com is NOT  a 501 (c) (3).  Black Lives Matter.com does not have a identifying  IRS number.

So, Act Blue Charities accepts money and disperses it who knows how  from an entity — Black Lives Matter.com  which is not a legitimate 501 (c) (3). You can send emails to:   info@actlblue.com

In 2018, Act Blue Charities spent the huge sum of $138. only on Fundraising and Program Services cost $297,157, nearly $300 THOUSAND dollars.

 This is just not “on the up and up” as they say.   This is one organization [Act Blue Charities]   hiding money to allow other entities [e.g., Black Lives Matter.com] to use  the money for whatever purposes they choose.

So what does Black Lives Matter.com hope to achieve?  What do you think the words “eradicate white supremacy”mean?   Urban chaos such as looting of  downtown Chicago recently? Yep.

Black Lives Matters.com  — the official website for Black Lives Matters — does absolutely nothing to help black children, save black lives, educate black children.  Black Lives Matters serves the political purposes of its founders.  Those purposes are Marxist goals, i.e., the taking over of existing government aka de-fund the police and create chaos in the streets.

There’s another organization that also collects donations under the Black Lives Matter name.  It’s called Black Lives Matters Global Network and it has chapters around the country.   Black Lives Matters Global Network collected 3.3 MILLION in donations during 2 weeks in June, 2020.  The Attorney General for New York put out an alert for New York residents to beware the organization.

Aptos Psychologist:

So what can you do? Plenty.   Help stop the  de-fund the police tactics of Black Lives Matters.com     Talk to people.  Pass along this information and gather more.  Only give money to charitable organizations  that has identifying IRS  information. Look for the EIN # on their website and  literature requests for donation.  Use Charity 101 to check out how authentic the organization is. Black Lives Matters.com provides NO information to the IRS. 

 How ever you can, speak out against Black Lives Maters.com as a Marxist organization that hurts people of all colors. 

 

Recent example of a ‘good church person’ duped by Black Lives Matters.com     

A deacon at the local episcopal church in Aptos, CA was complementary  about the recent demonstration Black Lives Matters held in Watsonville, CA which   the  episcopal priest had attended.  ‘I wish I too had gone’ the deacon commented. ‘Are we doing enough?’ the deacon  pondered. ‘We sent a letter to the local paper…’ 

 The episcopal church  located across from the White House recently put up a pro-Black Lives Matter sign.

What to do for CA schools, jobs, churches – closed by Gov. Newsom

What can you do to help re-open  CA schools, jobs & churches closed by  California  Democrat Gov. Newsom?  Plenty. As a taxpayer and voter, speak your mind.

First of all, know that that  Democrat Party  actions show  Democrats   prefer continued  economic meltdown to economic growth.

Example:   Today 7/31 the Democrats blocked extension of renewal of federal enhanced unemployment benefits at $200 a week.

What you can do?   Write your representatives — almost all Democrats in CA — and ask them to explain why two-thirds of regular pay is not enough given prior Democrat proposals that set virus sick pay leave and family medial leave at two-thirds regular pay. Why?  The real answer is that Democrats are blocking economic revival.  The economy contracted about 1/3 in the second quarter of 2020 — the largest ever contraction.   It must be ‘we the people’ who open the economy that get people back to work. Time to speak up.

 Second,   know that health advisor   Dr. Farci  is in the tank in support of  the Democrats ‘do nothing’  approach when he tells Congressman Jordan that the public should  ‘avoid all crowds’ but won’t comment whether  the government should control crowds of protesters.  So, crowds of protests are OK for Farci but not others.  See below:

So what can you and I do  to help get children back to school?   Parents can say ‘no more unionized instruction’  of their children’ in government schools paid for by   required taxation.  Encourage competition by forming more charter schools and  attending private schools.  It’s competition that brings costs down and improves quality.  We readily see how competition  drives down costs  at the grocery stores and it’s also true for  other costs.

What about re-opening the churches and faith organizations?  There’s a piece in the WSJ today how believing that life has meaning helps individuals thrive. There’s lots of research that supports that view.

The WSJ  article is titled,    Titled Free Markets and Meaning in Life by Clay Routledge and John Bitzan. It discusses research that found that  a sense of life’s meaningfulness is tightly tied to positive views of capitalism and entrepreneurship.

What might people do?      Does your church or where you work support the marxist  organization  Black Lives Matters.com  (BLM)?   Look at the BLM website and you will find it opposes the nuclear family and seeks to de-fund the police.   Why not suggest to your church or work place that they hold   a discussion of the above listed WSJ  article that supports capitalism and entrepreneurship compared with what’s  supported by the Black Lives Matters.com website?

You  can see from what’s going on in Portland, Oregon  and Seattle, Washington  that what starts out as  peaceful protests are   hijacked by Antifa and  Black Lives Matter folks.   Per the videos,  these  ‘protesters’ are destroying property and doing violence to people.

One Episcopal priest, Sara Fischer,  who has been attending the protests in Portland    has this to say:  [Egan Millard is an assistant editor and reporter for Episcopal News writes the following re Sara Fisher.]

“I’m there out of compassion and concern for all the protesters. And I think the first time I went down there I thought, well, nobody’s going to throw tear gas at a silver-haired white lady in a collar. And it turns out that there’s so many people there, the feds don’t really discriminate.”

The below quote is from  Egan Millard, an assistant editor and reporter for Episcopal News Service.  His email:  emillard@episcopalchurch.org.

“The Rev. Sara Fischer doesn’t know what to expect next, but she sees it as part of her duty as a priest to protect those who are in danger and support their message, regardless of the ways in which they protest. As much as she would prefer to see completely nonviolent protests, she understands why that’s not the case.”

“I think that the church’s role is to protect and defend protesters, to be present, to show up,”  Sara Fischer  said to Egan Millard.   

Aptos Psychologist:   The protests in Portland and Seattle started because of the  murder of  George Floyd  by a white policeman.  That was the end of May, a couple months ago.  What’s going on now has morphed into violence against people and vandalism and destruction of homes and businesses.   Video footage night after night shows that  Antifa and Black Lives Matter are central players  to the disorders.

It’s Democrat mayors and Democrat governors   who permit  the chaos to continue. The public must let their representatives and the media [typically in the tank for the Democrats] know what you think of the continued  violence in Democrat run cities  against person and property.

Harmed  among  others  are the black  families  and  black small businesses living in Democrat run cities who are  caught in the cross fire  and  experience the violence.   Doing  prolonged violence and vandalism   is not the way to  remember the murder of  George Floyd.

What say you?
