BLM National Leadership Focused on Money and Careers
Black Agenda Radio with Margaret Kimberley and Glen Ford

Margaret Kimberley · BLM National Leadership Focused on Money and Careers

Breya Johnson, co-chair of Black Youth Project 100 (BYP100) in Washington, DC, said her organization enjoys a “working relationship” with the local Black Lives Matter chapter, but views BLM’s national leadership as “more about career interests” and raising money “than it is about Black liberation.” BYP100 sees mutual aid as crucial during the Covid-19-induced economic crisis, “because the government failed us.” “How we keep us safe is critical,” said Johnson, a masters student at George Washington University.
