A nonprofit affiliated with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement is asking “white folks” for monetary reparations as its finances have dwindled in recent years.

Black Lives Matter Grassroots made a series of demands for assistance to “our people” and to hold white Americans “accountable” in a Thursday press release honoring Juneteenth, a holiday commemorating the liberation of slaves in the U.S.

The group laid out demands for specific ethnic groups, reiterating its brand of leftist identity politics that has lost significant amounts of public support, according to May polling from Pew Research Center.

“Commit yourselves to real reparations policies that hold accountable the government, white-supremacist capitalism, and white people — who continue to benefit from our generations of stolen labor,” the press release states. “Slide your Black friend some benjamins. Make a check out to Black liberation organizations, like BLM Grassroots.”
