(CNN) An executive at Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (GNF), is accused of "syphoning" more than $10 million from donors, the grassroots arm of the BLM organization said a court filing this week.

The suit is against executive Shalomyah Bowers, the foundation itself, Bowers' consulting firm & unnamed individuals.


Bowers was hired by BLM in 2020 to help run the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (GNF), an extension of the Black Lives Matter grassroots organization.


Bowers denied the claims leveled in the suit, saying in a statement the accusations are "harmful, divisive & false."

GNF was originally created by Cullors "as an administrative organization to raise funds to provide financial support for local-level community efforts of BLM Grassroots," the suit said, while the BLM Grassroots organization did the "on-the-ground" work.

Bowers was also supposed to disclose certain financial and organizing information other leaders within the group, but "refused" to so, the suit alleges.

The suit also said Bowers changed social media account passwords for the grassroots organization & tried to "to register the trademark of BLM Grassroots using the logo & design of BLM Grassroots leader Angela Waters, in what appears to be an attempt to 'steal' the logo or prevent BLM Grassroots from utilizing."


"Mr. Bowers continues to fraudulently raise money from unsuspecting donors passing himself off as the organization that is doing the work of BLM, padding his own pockets at that of his associates at the cost of BLM's reputation," the suit said.


The grassroots organization arm of the organization is asking for a jury trial & accuses Bowers of unfair businesses practices, fraud & intentional misrepresentation.
