Amazon suspended Black Lives Matter from its charity platform AmazonSmile this week for failing to disclose where its $60 million in donations has gone. 

The social justice organization, which has been facing intense scrutiny over financial transparency, will be deprived from funds raised on AmazonSmile 'until they're back in compliance,' a spokesperson told the New York Post. It was unclear how much money had been raised on the platform. 
 
The suspension, which was first reported by the Washington Examiner, deprives the BLM of revenue from the organization, which has provided $306 million to U.S. charities. 

It comes after charity auditors expressed alarm at the management of BLM's donations when no one seemed able to say who was handling the finances and the group's reluctance to release financial records. 

BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors, who resigned in May, said last week that the unaccounted millions her group received in 2020 came from 'white corporation guilt.'0
