#DeepDive |The Ferguson Machine: A Decade of Exploitive Activist Rule (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A sophisticated network of activists, academics, and nonprofits transformed the Ferguson protests into a permanent political and financial apparatus. This "Ferguson machine" leveraged racial unrest to secure hundreds of millions of dollars in federal stimulus and private foundation grants for radical social agendas.
#DeepDive | The Monetization of Protest: Community Injustice and the “Nonprofit Industrial Complex” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Ferguson movement and the national Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization differed significantly in their origins, focus, and leadership structure . While the Ferguson movement began as an organic, community-led response to local injustice, BLM was a calculated, external entity that co-opted that energy for a different agenda.
