    Im surprised to find myself agreeing. Obviously BLM is a political / activisn organization. But ykw. They could form a PAC instead. Separate political activism from genuine charity work. And they should be expected to file correctly - because churches can’t.

      BLM is a terrible example. There’s BLM the movement, and BLM the leech non-profit organization that purports to represent BLM the movement but gets terrible press because they have tons of private inurement and self-dealing issues - almost like they exist to undermine the actual movement.

      Pretty sure it’s not a 501c corp. at least not the bits of it that are active in politics.

      Keep in mind, BLM isn’t a single entity and doesn’t have heirachical control like a denomination would
