Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada

If this website or org that is calling itself BLM dissolves then that org will be gone. BLM itself won't be gone because it is a movement.

It's in the preamble if you want to read on it.

A VAST majority of BLM protests had nothing to do with this organization.

So why did (and still do) many websites have links urging people to donate to this organization under the name of Black Lives Matter?

[–] Platomus@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Probably because some of those websites are a part of that specific organization.

That doesn't change anything I said.
