Tuesday 17 May 2022 03:34 AM Patrisse Cullors' BROTHER among highest-paid employees at BLM trends now
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors' brother is paid of the two highest salaries at the organization for being the head of the security team at the $6million BLM Los Angeles mansion bought with charity donations.
The former leader had said previously that her sister, mother, and brother were employed with the Black Lives Matter Foundation. But new financial filings last week revealed Paul Cullors is paid more than dozens of other employees at the severely scrutinized organization.
Although the May 11 filing, first reported by the Washington Examiner, does not reveal the exact amount Paul Cullors is paid yearly, it does state he is one of the two highest-compensated employees.
It is unclear whether Cullors is paid more, less, or the same, as the other highest-paid employee, BLM Operations Director Raymond Howard.
The organization will be required to disclose what employees it paid upwards of $100,000 in its 990 financial disclosure filing.
News that Patrisse Cullors's brother receives the greatest compensation at BLM comes on the heels of mounting criticism toward the doomed ex-leader of the organization.
'While my brother is the head of security, and my mom and sister did work at the property, there are also dozens of people who work in the organization that is black folks and are doing amazing work,' Cullors told the Associated Press last week.
After her resignation in May 2021, it has been revealed that BLM purchased a $6million lavish home in Los Angeles with charitable donations. Patrisse Cullors has also come under fire for receiving a $120,000 payment in 'consulting fees' by BLM.
Cullors has repeatedly denied claims that she took money from BLM for personal matters and has reiterated that all the purchases and transactions - including the lavish 6,500 square-foot Studio City property home - were legitimate.
'The idea that (the foundation) received millions of dollars and then I hid those dollars in my bank account is absolutely false,' Cullors said, calling those claims 'a false narrative.'

Paul Cullors was one of at least three members of Patrisse Cullors' family employed at BLM. He was also remunerated for providing security services at Cullors' personal properties, New York Magazine reported.
Tom Anderson, director of the Government Integrity Project at the National Legal and Policy Center watchdog group, told the Examiner the recent reports about Cullors hiring immediate family at BLM while she was on the board are concerning.
