She is accused of using the funds on recreational travel to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, food and groceries for herself and her children, retail shopping, a personal vehicle and six properties in Oklahoma City.

Dickerson could face up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for wire fraud and up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for money laundering if convicted. She was released on conditions on Dec. 11 after making her first court appearance. Federal Public Defender Jeff Byers declined to comment when reached by the Oklahoman, part of the USA TODAY Network.

"Whatever happens, the work don't stop," Dickerson said in a video streamed live to social media after the court appearance.

She blamed "haters" for the indictment and said she was speaking on Facebook to let her family and friends know she was OK.

"A lot of times when people come at you with these types of things − and I'm probably saying more than I should but I haven't always been compliant, people know this − it's evidence that you are doing the work. And so that is what I'm standing on," she said.

"To those that are saying you are praying for me, don't stop. Please continue, and I thank you," she said.

The indictment comes after the Associated Press and CBS News reported earlier this year that the Justice Department was investigating whether the national Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation misused donations.
Money was meant for bail funds, indictment says

Most of the funds were initially raised to post bail for demonstrators arrested during protests after the death of George Floyd in 2020. Grand jurors accused Dickerson of depositing at least $3.15 million in returned bail checks into her personal accounts, rather than into BLMOKC’s accounts.

Floyd, 46, was killed by police in Minneapolis in May 2020, sparking protests nationwide that sometimes became violent. Officer Derek Chauvin, who was filmed kneeling on Floyd's neck for over nine minutes, was convicted of murder. The protests in Oklahoma City drew national attention when some participants were charged with terrorism, rioting and assault.

"This is not Seattle," said David Prater, then the Oklahoma County district attorney. "We're not putting up with this lawlessness here."

National bail funds sent millions of dollars to Blacks Lives Matter OKC to free protesters from jail.

Dickerson also allegedly made false reports to the nonprofit Alliance for Global Justice, which served as a fiscal sponsor to Black Lives Matter OKC, about where the money went.

"Dickerson reported that she had used BLMOKC funds only for tax-exempt purposes. She did not disclose that she used funds for her personal benefit," prosecutors said in a news release.
Funds were used for shopping spree, groceries: Indictment

Dickerson made about $4.5 million in bail payments in 2020 on behalf of the defendants, according to the indictment. She eventually got $3.5 million back when the criminal cases were concluded. A $1 million bail payment was forfeited when one defendant failed to appear in court.

The returned funds were supposed to be used for educational or charitable purposes, for future bail payments and to further racial justice and the end of mass incarceration.

The indictment accused Dickerson of instead spending $41,749 of the funds to buy a 2021 Hyundai Palisade.

She also used the funds on recreational travel for herself and her "associates" to the Dominican Republic in July 2021 and to Jamaica in December 2021 and January 2022, according to the indictment.

She allegedly spent "tens of thousands of dollars" at Nordstrom, Macy's, Amazon, Best Buy, Bob Mills Furniture and other retailers. She allegedly spent at least $50,000 on personal food and grocery deliveries to herself and her children.

She used $975,000 to purchase property including $278,000 on a church in 2021, grand jurors alleged.

"The Church Property was intended to be used by BLMOKC as a community center, but Dickerson placed title to the property in her own name," according to the indictment.

The latest property purchase came in July 2024, according to the indictment. It was for $87,000.

Grand jurors alleged Dickerson has been involved with BLMOKC since at least July 2016 and "represented herself to be an unpaid volunteer."

In an interview with the Oklahoman in 2020, she described herself as a co-founder of Oklahoma's Black Lives Matter. About her life philosophy, she said, "For now, it's just enjoying the gift of life, being able to appreciate and empower myself and others."

The indictment says she also is known as the Rev. T. Sheri Dickerson. Minister credentials for her from Universal Life Church dated Feb. 4, 2006, are on file in Oklahoma County District Court.

movement full of narcissists who pretend to care about x marginalized group so they can justify being violent thugs to other people all the while being privileged middle-upper class cunts
not really surprised this happens its the standard for BLM and antifa members.

Those screencaps don't look like they have been BTFO, though.

Title:

Actual article
>A local Oklahoma Black Lives Matter leader
>A local leader
Not the exact same thing.

I think we both know this was both click-baity and dishonest, OP. Mind you BLM doesn't really have an actual leader, it's more of a decentralised movement.

>>1465531
>so they can justify being violent thugs
Not really. Most of the BLM protestors have been pacifists and most of the arsons have been ascribed to far-right groups, notably the Boogaloo adherents.

>>1465394

If yes, I hope she's alright.
If no, then hopefully she goes to prison for her crimes.

You not understanding English is really embarrassing given how often /news/ leftists accuse everybody else of being ESL
>>1465538
this is bait btw. Never forget that all Democrats supported the arsonists who tried to murder Kyle Rittenhouse just to stop him from putting out their fire.

>>1465544
There are like 2 total leftists on /news/, you're so terminally online you see imaginary leftists everywhere.

>>1465538
>Most of the BLM protestors have been pacifists
vocal minority is all that matters and they absolutely aren't peaceful i've never seen a larger demographic of karens

pulled out of your ass huh.

>>1465560
>If you post on /news/ you can only read /news/
You're all the same everywhere no matter what the number. It's odd really, there's so little deviation out of leftoids. Any time you attempt to debate or converse with them all you get is the same mantric bullshit.

>>1465560
Oh sure. Theres /news/ and /pol/ as seperate boards for no reason.

This is fact.

Actually, no the opposite, it explicitly establish that this isn't what the movement is actually about.

Nope.

Now THIS is the projection I've come to expect from the average /pol/tard lurking on /news/.

There's like 12 if we count the various personalities of the one schizo leftist.

>>1465602
>>If you post on /news/ you can only read /news/
Not that I agree with what the guy you are quoting is saying (there are definitely more than 2 leftists on /news/ and I am one of them), but that is not even remotely close to what he is saying.

Nothing he has said can be constructed as saying that people who post here are not allowed to read things anywhere else, here.

This level of bad interpretation kinda undermine the whole rant you made in reaction, here.

>>1465755
>Actually, no the opposite, it explicitly establish that this isn't what the movement is actually about.
>>the people the most active and vocal and commiting violence are fine because muh muh they don't represent me
Ok nice distracting retard. maybe take accountability for your side for once and not defend murderers and violent thugs as "they're just a minority of the movement"
dipshit fuck off

>>1465777
>>>the people the most active and vocal and commiting violence
Do you know what a minority is? And again, most of the violence weren't even done by people who were part of the movement.

Literally judging a whole group for the actions of a few. That's not an acceptable way of thinking.

Except it's not hat happens. Making shit up is not an actual argument.

>please just kindly rope yourself you hypocrite
Yeah, trying to push someone to suicide does not make you sound like a reasonable person to have an argument with.

>>1465786
coming from the hypocrite that conveniently dismisses everything his side does with oh they're just a minority of the movement. but loves highlighting individuals from the otherside. there's a term for you hypocrite.
also since ur double spacing so much maybe you should go back to your home on rddt, it triggers my ocd

>>1465786
if you don't personally terminate that unhinged minority group then they become your representative. no one's making anything up you're aligned with terrorists bigots and the actual fascists so you should perish alongside them

>>1465788
>coming from the hypocrite that conveniently dismisses everything his side does
There has been zero dismissing, anon. Try again.

>if you don't personally terminate that unhinged minority group
Like said before, most of those violent actions weren't even from BLM protestors. No one is saying what they did was okay either.

>>1465793

ya you really are a narcassist, i wouldn't feel bad if you got attacked and eaten by a crocodile right about now. I'd probably just sit stare and laugh because we all know that's what you'd do to people outside your group.
you are human scum you are aligned and defend the actions of people attacking 7 year olds for wearing a hat.
don't expect any sympathies after what you've done. I can't remember how many times i've heard leftists screech about that 1 bad apple spoils the barrel and now you want to preach tolerance its disgusting.

>>1465797
>>Literally judging a whole group for the actions of a few.
>>it explicitly establish that this isn't what the movement is actually about.

That's not a dismissing, that's demonstrating the flaws in your critiques with actual facts. Not the same thing. Try again.

>ya you really are a narcassist
I... I don't think you know the actual meaning of that word, anon. Even if I actually was dismissive (which I wasn't), being dismissive isn't what narcissism is about.

>>1465797
>I'd probably just sit stare and laugh because we all know that's what you'd do to people outside your group.
