According to a report released Monday, Black Lives Matter used donor money to purchase a luxurious Southern California mansion for over $6 million.
Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Melina Abdullah, three social justice advocates, shot a video outside the covertly purchased property in June on the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death.
After The Post’s exclusive investigation in April exposed her acquisition of four high-end US houses for $3.2 million, Cullors said she was weeks away from being in survival mode.
According to a real estate listing quoted by the magazine, Cullors and her coworkers didn’t give any specifics about the opulent mansion visible behind them in the video, which is a 6,500-square-foot compound with more than six bedrooms and baths, fireplaces, a pool, and parking for more than 20 automobiles.
According to the startling revelation, the property was acquired in October 2020 with cash provided to the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation.
Dyane Pascall bought the seven-bedroom home just two weeks after BLMGNF got $66.5 million from its fiscal sponsor earlier that month. Janaya and Patrisse Consulting, an LLC run by Cullors and her spouse, Janaya Khan, has Pascall as its financial manager.
According to the report, ownership was transferred to an LLC in Delaware within a week, ensuring that the property’s owner would not be revealed.
BLM co-founder Cullors quit as executive director in May after being chastised for buying three houses in the Los Angeles region and another outside of Atlanta.
The company attempted to derail the news about the home, which is internally referred to as the campus, by claiming that it might be utilized as an influencer house where artists could meet, according to one strategy letter.
According to BLMGNF board member Shalomyah Bowers, the home was bought with the goal of serving as accommodation and studio space for beneficiaries of the Black Joy Creators Fellowship.
The foundation had always intended to make the home’s legal files public in May, and it isn’t used as a personal residence, according to Bowers.
