Michael Brown’s Father and Ferguson Activists Request $20 Million From Black Lives Matter

After the organization announced it raised over $90 million last year, the father of Michael Brown and other activists from Ferguson, Missouri, are demanding financial support from Black Lives Matter, according to The Post.

Michael Brown Sr., whose son was gunned down by a white police officer in August 2014, is seeking $20 million from the group to support his community.

“Where is all that money going?” Brown Sr. asked in a Tuesday press release from The International Black Freedom.

“We’re not asking for a handout, but for the funding to keep the movement strong where it began,” said Tory Russell, a Ferguson activist and co-founder of The International Black Freedom.

In an impact report first provided to The Associated Press last month, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation shared its funding details.
