An IRS filing released Tuesday by the Black Lives Matter Global Foundation (BLMGF) revealed that a large portion of the group’s revenue was spent on lobbying Congress on a number of issues, including pressure on lawmakers to move forward on the impeachment of former President Donald Trump.
The 63-page Form 990 covers the fiscal year from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, and indicates the group had $42 million in net assets at that time, the Daily Mail reported.
In addition to lobbying for impeachment following the Jan 6. Capitol riot, the group also sought to influence votes on the BREATHE Act, which would abolish the Drug Enforcement Agency and end life sentences. They also used funds to rally members of Congress against the George Floyd Act, which they say did not go far enough in their efforts toward police reform.
