“race equity” is just racialism dressed up as fairness.
“Although registered as a domestic not-for-profit with the Oklahoma Secretary of State, the BLM Oklahoma Foundation, Black Lives Matter OKC, and Black Lives Matter Oklahoma Assn. (collectively "BLMOKC") were not listed as tax exempt organizations with the Internal Revenue Service.”
Dickerson has been an executive director with OKCBLM since 2016. ✍️
“Beginning by at least late spring and early summer of 2020, BLMOKC raised funds to support its social justice mission and to post bail on behalf of individuals arrested during protests arising after the death of George Floyd.”
“Beginning in or about late spring and early summer 2020, BLMOKC also solicited grant funds from social justice organizations, including CJE, MBF, MFF, and other national bail funds, to post bail for individuals atTested in Oklahoma in connection with protests. BLMOKC continued to receive grant funds from social justice organizations through at least May 2024.”
Will finish thread later.

AFGJ would segregate the donations into an account called the "Project Fund."
"BLMOKC agreed to use the Project Fund solely for legitimate expenses in connection with the Project."
"BLMOKC agreed to complete an annual report that provided AFGJ with a narrative of how BLMOKC used the Project Fund"

During the 2020 Summer Riots, "BLMOKC' s fundraising took several forms..."
"Donations made to BLMOKC through its website were directed to AFGJ as BLMOKC's fiscal sponsor."
"Donations made to BLMOKC through its social media accounts were directed to BLMOKC's PayPal and Cash App accounts, but also occasionally to DICKERSON's personal PayPal account."

Four years straight of funds being moved around through these entities to post bail for people arrested in Oklahoma in connection with protests.
July 2020
CJE sends $4.7mil in "grants to AFGJ for the benefit of BLMOKC"
"The purpose of the grants was 'to support Black Lives Matter—Oklahoma City in posting pretrial bail for individuals arrested in connection with non-violent protests for racial justice.'"

If any bail payments were returned back to BLMOKC, they were supposed to use those funds for 501(c)(3) "charitable or educational work"
And by July 2021, BLMOKC was supposed "to report on how funds returned from bail payments were used or would be used"
"any portion of the grant funds not used for their stated purpose must be repaid to the Tides Center."

Also in July 2020, MFF donates $350k to AFGJ for BLMOKC to use to pay bail for protesters.
Money repaid or not used is to be returned to MFF.
In April 2022, MFF amends the agreement to allow all money to stay with AFGJ and be used by BLMOKC "to pay bail for individuals in Oklahoma City that may not be able to pay for themselves."

In June 2020, MBF gives $300k in a grant to BLMOKC directly "to support bails paid for community members related to the uprising of summer 2020."
Bail funds returned can stay with BLMOKC "to a be a donation to [BLMOKC] to further their work."

"In total, between June 30, 2020, and July 28, 2020, MBF, CJE, and MFF paid at least $5,350,000.00 for the benefit of BLMOKC."
Counts 1-20
WIRE FRAUD
June 2020 thru October 2025
Dickerson "diverted funds" "to her personal benefit" and "then falsely stated in reports to AFGJ that all funds received by BLMOKC were used for tax-exempt purposes."
WIRE FRAUD
June 2020 thru October 2025
Dickerson "diverted funds" "to her personal benefit" and "then falsely stated in reports to AFGJ that all funds received by BLMOKC were used for tax-exempt purposes."
Dickerson "caused returned bail funds belonging to BLMOKC to be transferred to her personal financial accounts" and "thereafter used those funds for the benefit of herself, her children, and her associates,..."
As funds are being donated to BLMOKC to bail protesters out of jail during summer 2020, Dickerson is moving the funds to BLMOKC PayPal and Cash App accounts...
"and occasionally to DICKERSON's personal PayPal account."
"and occasionally to DICKERSON's personal PayPal account."
Dickerson would just move tens of thousands of dollars directly from the BLMOKC PayPal account to her own Paypal account.
Or, directly to her checking account.
Dickerson, between June 2020 and September 2025, moved "more than $120,000.00" from her own accounts "to her relatives and associates."
But that money wasn't hers. It was derived from donations. In fact,
"Prior to transfers originating from BLMOKC's Pay Pal account, DICKERSON's 0258 checking account had a balance of $545.58."
"Prior to transfers originating from BLMOKC's Pay Pal account, DICKERSON's 0258 checking account had a balance of $545.58."
Dickerson also solicited donations to BLMOKC... but put them directly into her account.
For a time, prior to July 6, 2020, at the beginning of the 2020 riots, BLMOKC did not have its own bank account.
So, AFGJ moved the funds directly to Dickerson.
"AFGJ transferred a total of $3,520,000.00 to DICKERSON's 0258 checking account."
So, AFGJ moved the funds directly to Dickerson.
"AFGJ transferred a total of $3,520,000.00 to DICKERSON's 0258 checking account."
From $500 in your account to $3.5 million in the span of a month or so.
She did use some of that money to post bail for people in July.
Like, 12 people.
Like, 12 people.
"In total, DICKERSON received $4,820,000.00 into DICKERSON's 0258 checking account and the BLMOKC 9567 account, of which she posted approximately $4,500,000.00 in bail payments for Oklahoma County criminal defendants in July 2020."
Of that $4.5mil, OKC returned $3.5mil.
Of that $4.5mil, OKC returned $3.5mil.
Sometimes Dickerson put the repaid bail money into BLMOKC's new bank account.
Other times, well, about $3.15mil worth of times, she didn't.

Dickerson got herself a new car.
With $42k cash.
With $42k cash.
And took herself and her friends to the Dominican Republic.
And to Jamaica.
Twice.

Shopping spreeeeeeeees
Real Estate
Dickerson be like
"DICKERSON concealed the scope and nature of her embezzlement from BLMOKC by" LYING!!!
Lies.
All stolen.
Submitted false reports to AFGJ.
It was probably pretty easy for the IRS to detect and figure out that the reports from AFGJ and BLMOKC were not correct.
Counts 21-25 are Money Laundering.
Dickerson took funds meant for one thing (bail, charitable work, or to be returned) and put them into her own personal accounts and then made purchases for real property that she put in her name.

FORFEITURE
Everything she gained, she will lose upon conviction.
The money, the real estate, the car, and anything else traceable to the embezzled funds.

I'll track this case.
Probably not with as much focus as I give or have given to others—like Comey, the North Texas Antifa Cell, Merchant, McGonigal, etc.—but I'll keep an eye on it.
