Sen. Elizabeth Warren , D-Mass., Labor Secretary Marty Walsh , and Rep. Ayanna Pressley , D-Mass., are national figures that all supported Monica Cannon-Grant while she was a part of Boston’s BLM organization.
At the local level, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and District Attorney Rachael Rollins also legitimized Cannon-Grant to the point that she bragged about having their numbers on speed-dial.
“Most of the politicians in the city, I have their cell phone number. The only one I don’t have — but I’m not upset about — is Charlie Baker,” Cannon-Grant told The Boston Scope in 2019.
“The mayor, direct call to his cell phone. Michelle Wu, direct call to her cell phone. District Attorney Rollins, direct call to her cell phone.”
Cannon-Grant claimed on her Facebook page that Warren and Pressley donated to her charity, and that Warren sent her a letter thanking her for her activism.
“Your activism and organizing give me hope, and I will continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you in this fight for justice,” Warren wrote in the letter.
Cannon-Grant and her husband were charged in an 18-count indictment earlier this month for wire fraud, conspiracy, and making false statements to a mortgage lending business.The couple allegedly used the hundreds of thousands of dollars raised by Cannon-Grant’s charity, Violence in Boston, to pay for personal, extravagant expenses, including hotels and car rentals. They also claimed Violence in Boston’s bank account as their own in a mortgage application, prosecutors said.“With this larger influx of VIB funds, Cannon-Grant and Clark Grant began to help themselves to greater amounts from the VIB Bank […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
