ActBlue still allowing BLM to solicit donations despite charity’s shutdown claim

ActBlue, the powerful Democratic online fundraising platform, continues to allow Black Lives Matter to rake in donations, even after the charity claimed Wednesday that it had “shut down online fundraising” amid legal threats from a growing chorus of states.

While BLM did on Wednesday remove the donation button once featured prominently on its website, at least two BLM fundraising pages hosted by ActBlue remain accessible online as of Thursday afternoon, providing a potential revenue stream to the charity as it remains out of compliance in California, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Virginia, and Washington.
