CBS News | June 17, 2020

“‘I’m really proud of the work we’ve been able to do in the last seven years,’ Patrisse Cullors, co-founder and chairwoman of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, said in a statement. ‘What is clear is that Black Lives Matter shares a name with a much larger movement and there are literally hundreds of organizations that do impactful racial and gender justice work who make up the fabric of this broader movement.’

The foundation has already identified several non-BLM global network movement organizations that it would like to support, said Cullors, who declined to name the groups. The foundation says it will ‘prioritize mutual aid organizations, direct service and organizations focused on creating sustainable improvements in the material conditions for all black people.’ It also looks to support black lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender-led groups.”
