Fox News
The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation donated $200,000 during its 2021 fiscal year to a Chicago-based nonprofit led by a defund the police activist.
The group, which was founded by defund the police activist and community organizer Richard Wallace, who remains the group's executive director, has organized protests against police and advocates for reparations. However, it primarily focuses on achieving "social and economic equity for Black Workers engaged in the informal economy," or African Americans who work jobs "not regulated or protected by the state," which appears to include criminal activity.
Wallace, who has repeatedly called police "pigs" and said they need to "defund these b---ards," posted smiling emojis on his Facebook in response to 2020 article saying, "54 percent of Americans think burning down Minneapolis police precinct was justified after George Floyd's death." In 2015, Wallace took to Twitter to say, "F--- the police."
