Black Lives Matter cofounder Patrisse Cullors referred to herself and cofounder Alicia Garza as "trained Marxists" in a recorded interview.^*

The third cofounder, Opal Tometi, wrote an article praising the socialist dictatorship of Venezuela, saying "We stand with the Venezuelan people as they build a revolutionary and popular democracy based on communal power".^*

The organization published an article mourning the death of Marxist Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, writing "As Fidel ascends to the realm of the ancestors, we summon his guidance, strength, and power".^*

Black Lives Matter is administered by an organization whose vice chair, Susan Rosenberg, is a convicted communist terrorist who served 16 years of a 58 year sentence which was commuted by Bill Clinton.^***

Rosenberg was a member of the May 19th Communist Organization (M19CO) which "openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence".^*

M19CO was a female-led combination of the Black Liberation Army (BLA) and the Weather Underground (WUO), active from 1978 to 1985. Most of the members, including Susan Rosenberg, were lesbian feminists.^**** All three founders of Black Lives Matter (BLM) describe themselves as feminists and two of the three publicly identify as queer.^****

It seems that history rhymes.

Communist ideology has resulted in an estimated 100 million deaths worldwide... so far.^**

And we are painting the name of this organization on our public streets.
