Cullors describes herself as a “working class, queer, black woman.” She claims the country killed her father, a drug addict. At a 2015 Netroots Nation conference, Cullors led chants shouting,
{{quoterbox|“If I die in police custody, burn everything down … rise the f–k up! That is the only way m*****f**ers like you will listen!”<ref>https://capitalresearch.org/article/blm-roots/</ref>}}
Cullors founded and directs Dignity and Power Now, which claims to seek “dignity and power of incarcerated people, their families, and communities.”
Cullors was trained by [[Eric Mann]], a former [[Weather Underground]] leader who exhorts followers to become “anti-racist, anti-imperialist” activists. Mann runs another Liberation Road front, the Labor/Community Strategy Center. Like many professional leftists, he makes good money—over $225,000—living in “the system” he advocates destroying.<ref>
