However today we’re learning Cullors is stepping down from her post. She’s the final founder of the Black Lives Matter organization to do so.
An official statement announcing Patrisse’s departure was published by the Black Lives Matter Twitter page.
In her place, according to the organization, two interim Senior Executives will take her place in the meantime. 1.) Makani Themba, Chief Strategist at Higher Ground Change Strategies, and former executive director of The Praxis Project. 2.) Monifa Bandele, Chief Operating Officer at Time’s Up Foundation.
As co-founder of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF), Cullors accomplishments included: launching a political action committee for BLM, a grassroots “sister organization” to BLMGNF, and donating $25 million to “Black-led organizations and Black families around the country.”
