At Black Lives Matter house, families are welcomed into space of freedom and healing

A national Black Lives Matter nonprofit that was widely criticized for purchasing a sprawling California mansion with donated funds recently opened the property to dozens of families who lost loved ones in incidents of police violence. The families, including some who accused the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation of using their loved ones’ names to raise millions of dollars, gathered and dined with a network of families that advocates for police reforms and better support. The foundation says it plans to hold future events that align with its mission of eradicating white supremacy and improving Black lives.
