That’s what makes this more than mere band wagon jumping or performative virtue signaling.
Good for them; rock the fuck on.

So is this the actual BLM organization or one of the imposters? The name seems the same as the nin-profit, but a NP wouldn’t have “Inc.” appended to the name. Seems like a lot of grifters are making bank right now.
ETA: Went straight to the source, but I’m still confused. They do, indeed list as BLM Foundation, Inc. but not BLM Global Network Foundation, Inc.
EETA: Ok, so on one page of the actual BLM organization, they list the former name and on another they list the latter. The BLM Foundation is a scam. Their stated mission: “Our whole thing is having unity with the police department.” Sounds like a fucking PBA.

Yes. Black Lives Matter Global Network (which Sabbath is raising money for) is a legit BLM foundation fighting for equality.
There is also a “Black Lives Matter Foundation” run by a huckster in SoCal that is taking people’s donations under false pretense. But this story is a piece of genuine good news, lets
just enjoy it.
