Kamala Harris And Husband Donated Thousands To Pro-BLM Group That Supported DC Sanctuary City Bill

Vice President Kamala Harris and first gentleman Doug Emhoff donated several thousand dollars to a Washington, D.C., nonprofit that openly called for fewer police and advocated for sanctuary city legislation.

Harris and Emhoff in 2023 donated $1,000 to Legal Aid DC, a progressive legal group that has pushed to defund the police and supported a sanctuary bill in Washington, D.C., according to the couple’s federal tax returns,first reported by the Washington Examiner. The couple also donated $1,000 to the group in 2021.

Legal Aid DC is Washington, D.C.,’s “oldest and largest civil legal services organization,” according to its website. The group, which represents low income clients and specializes in housing law, has a years-long history of left-wing advocacy.

In June 2020, amid the ongoing BLM riots rocking the nation, the organization published a statement declaring it “stands in solidarity” with those demonstrating and claimed violence against black Americans to be a “manifestation of our society’s persistent, deep-seated racism.” An attorney for Legal Aid DC was quoted that same month pushing for fewer police officers in Washington, D.C.
