Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors stepping down Joseph Wilkinson
Patrisse Cullors, one of three women who founded the Black Lives Matter global network, is stepping down as the executive director of the group’s foundation.
While there are many Black Lives Matter groups, the Global Network Foundation is the possibly the largest in the movement, and the organization received $90 million in donations last year.
Cullors, 37, founded the group alongside Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi in 2013 after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the killing of Trayvon Martin. The three women wanted to create a decentralized activist movement, and expanded to a network in 2015.
