Last month, The California Globe reported that the California budget earmark for California Assemblyman Dr. Corey Jackson's nonprofit Center Against Racism and Trauma (CART) was raised from $250,000 to $6 million, “placed under immigration services/vulnerable populations.” Earlier this year, Jackson named CART his legislative district’s “Nonprofit of the Year.” CART has only been tax-exempt since February 2022.
Now, an organization called California Black Media is calling the report a hit piece and blaming racism.

California Globe Editor-in-Chief Katy Grimes reports:
Rather than acknowledge the obvious nefarious funding with taxpayer money, Mr. Hardy Brown of California Black Media defended the Assemblyman’s actions, and accused the Globe of writing a “hit piece,” and not-so-subtly implied that the underlying motive of the Globe is because Assemblyman Corey Jackson is black… not because Jackson was caught red-handed self-dealing and abusing the privilege and authority of his elected office with taxpayer dollars allocated to his own nonprofit.
“In the Black community we do not have the luxury of ignoring any of our leaders whether we agree with them or not,” Mr. Brown says.
"Hit piece" = "Journalism"

Would the Globe have been accused of a hit piece had the California assemblyman been white and conservative?

Another new low for the CA legislature. “And my non profit of the year is me” “I’d like to thank me for giving me this award and boost in appropriation. I couldn’t have done it without me”.

They have given everything to themselves and destroyed everything in CA

I’ve been vocal about these matters. It’s not fraud. It’s laundering.

Money laundering at its finest.

Grimes notes that Jackson has also featured DSA and Marxist figures as speakers, including Communist Party USA member Angela Davis and race hustler Ibram X. Kendi.
Speaking of impeachment…this guy is clearly corrupt.

It's handy that Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" into law last month to keep people from investigating fraud.
