"The Black Lives Matter Foundation" Raised Millions. It's Not Affiliated With The Black Lives Matter

The Black Lives Matter Foundation, a Santa Clarita, California–based charitable organization that has one paid employee and lists a UPS store as its address, has a very different goal, according to its founder: “bringing the community and police closer together.”
