Why is this important? THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING BUILT ON THE PREMISE OF HELPING BLACK PEOPLE, legitimized by Black people, TAKEN FROM BLACK PEOPLE. #WallOfGloms
Bev directed the Moms to leave the frontlines last night, leaving vulnerable the very Black lives this movement was created to protect. Why? If someone gets hurt her nonprofit could get sued. When did this become about Bev? I thought this was about black lives.

Obviously this is not Bev who is tweeting. This is the RESISTANCE making sure that the truth is known about this organization from here forward. #WallOfGloms
If not for the support, leadership, and legitimacy offered to WOM by @TeressaLRaiford and @DontShootPdx the group was faltering. Why? THERE WAS NO BLACK LEADERSHIP. Moms called it out and Bev invited them in to exploit their reach and support for personal gain. #WallOfGloms
Is this confusing? Is this disappointing? Is this heartbreaking? YES. This is also a cautionary tale. To all the Walls groups that have come from this: DO BETTER THAN BEV. Put and KEEP Black people in leadership. DEFER TO THEM. This was not meant to be a “brand”. #WallOfGloms
What is happening?
You all did a terrific thing. Don’t start arguing for the sake of control.
Bev Barnum already blindsided black leadership and rest of the group by taking the organization name, and registering it as a nonprofit, which opens the opportunity to monetize for herself after black women did the work. He statement that BLM is now part of WOM is insulting.pic.twitter.com/9L56TIryBe
