A federal grand jury in Oklahoma City has returned an indictment against Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson, a senior leader of the Black Lives Matter organization in the city, on wire fraud and money laundering charges, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma Robert J. Troester announced in a press release Thursday.
According to the Indictment, beginning in at least 2016, Dickerson served as the Executive Director of Black Lives Matter OKC (BLM OKC). As Executive Director, Dickerson had access to BLM OKC’s bank, PayPal, and Cash App accounts.
While BLM OKC was not a registered tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, the organization allegedly accepted charitable donations through its affiliation with the Arizona-based Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ). FGJ served as a fiscal sponsor to BLM OKC and required the BLM group to use its funds only as permitted by Section 501(c)(3).
AFGJ also required BLM OKC to “fully account upon request for the disbursement of all funds received and prohibited BLMOKC from using its funds to purchase real estate without AFGJ’s consent,” prosecutors said.
On the heels of the George Floyd riots in 2020, BLM OKC began to raise funds in support of its social justice mission from online donors, as well as from national bail funds. In total, BLMOKC raised more than $5.6 million, which included grants from national bail funds, including the Community Justice Exchange, Massachusetts Bail Fund, and Minnesota Freedom Fund.
The bulk of these funds were routed through AFGJ as fiscal sponsor to the local BLM organization.
