Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation provided private jet service for its executive director, its latest tax filings show.
In addition to luxury real estate purchases in the US and Canada, filings show that Patrisse Cullors, a co-founder of the group and its only board member for fiscal 2020, enjoyed charter jet travel “due to security threats and during the COVID pandemic,” according to the tax filings which provide few other details.
“This travel was for organizational purposes,” the filing said. “The expenditure was voluntarily reimbursed subsequent to year end.”

That amount was used to pay back Cullors’ private jet travel, according to the Associated Press.
Filings also show that the group paid nearly $6 million for a luxury compound in Studio City, and paid the equivalent of $6.3 million for a sprawling mansion in Toronto. Both properties are to be used as offices.
