BLM is marching through the streets campaigning against President Trump. Do donations towards BLM and their actions break election finance law?

BLM is a political activist network that has the resources of hundreds of millions of dollars. Many of the organization under the BLM movement advocate for policy positions that are 'politically poison pills'. They are not directly related to racism in America, but rather far-left positions. These include things like voting rights for undocumented immigrants, universal healthcare, student loan forgiveness, etc. Americans have various levels of support for these policies and most of them would never get passed in congress.
It is a very long and well documented list and very easy to find.
If you look at the money you can follow the policy positions of these political activists: https://borealisphilanthropy.org/grantmaking/black-led-movement-fund/grantees/
AD believes our freedom looks like quality public schools; our freedom looks like universal healthcare; our freedom looks living without fear of physical or sexual violence; our freedom looks like economic stability; our freedom looks like self-determination; our freedom looks like communities that practice restorative justice and that make police and cages obsolete; our freedom looks like the eradication of anti-Blackness and all forms of oppression https://www.assatasdaughters.org/our-politics-2019
The UndocuBlack Network has local chapters in New York, Los Angeles and Washington, DC. These chapters are building on our local convenings that provide safe spaces for attendees to develop kinship amongst other Black undocumented immigrants in their community. https://undocublack.org/ourwork
Despite our communities’ long history of fighting for human rights and dignity, racism still persists in U.S. laws and culture, which prevent communities of color from achieving social and economic justice. The national debate over immigrant rights is part of the current challenges to racial equity and human rights. The anti-immigrant movement has invigorated vocal opposition to fair and just immigration reform and to the gains of the Civil Rights Movement, such as affirmative action and voting rights. Black immigrants from Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America experience racial discrimination as they navigate U.S. society and systems. They also face a more difficult immigration process and are racially profiled, leading to disproportionate rates of immigration detention and deportation. Among immigrant populations, black immigrants have the highest unemployment rates and earn the lowest wages, even though they are among the most educated. http://baji.org/who-we-are/
Many organization drafted a policy position document in 2016: https://neweconomy.net/sites/default/files/resources/20160726-m4bl-Vision-Booklet-V3.pdf
This policy positions document has several demands that would never pass in America.
An end to the war on Black immigrants including the repeal of the 1996 crime and immigration bills, an end to all deportations, immigrant detention, and Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) raids, and mandated legal representation in immigration courts
.
Reparations for the systemic denial of access to high quality educational opportunities in the form of full and free access for all Black people (including undocumented and currently and formerly incarcerated people) to lifetime education including: free access and open admissions to public community colleges and universities, technical education (technology, trade and agricultural), educational support programs, retroactive forgiveness of student loans, and support for lifetime learning programs.
.
A progressive restructuring of tax codes at the local, state, and federal level to ensure a radical and sustainable redistribution of wealth.
.
Full access to technology—including net neutrality and universal access to the internet without discrimination—and full representation for all
.
Election protection, electoral expansion and the right to vote for all people including: full access, guarantees, and protections of the right to vote for all people through universal voter registration, automatic voter registration, pre-registration for 16-year-olds, same day voter registration, voting day holidays, enfranchisement of formerly and presently incarcerated people, local and state resident voting for undocumented people, and a ban on any disenfranchisement laws.
Real, meaningful, and equitable universal health care that guarantees: proximity to nearby comprehensive health centers, culturally competent services for all people, specific services for queer, gender nonconforming, and trans people, full bodily autonomy, full reproductive services, mental health services, paid parental leave, and comprehensive quality child and elder care
Most of the policy positions don't actually deal with the issue of police brutality and systematic racism. What does universal healthcare and student loan forgiveness have to do with out of control police? Over $100 million have been given to BLM related groups. It seems that the movement uses black lives to push left-wing policies. They actively encourage arson and looting because it is a direct attack on the capitalist system.
There is a fallback if no one undisputed is set to be sworn in on Jan. 20. According to the 1947 law establis>hing the line of succession to the president, if the president and vice president are unable to be inaugurated, an "acting president" takes over until the situation is resolved. First in line would be the speaker of the House, and second would be the president pro tempore of the Senate, as long as the official resigned their seat in Congress. Beyond those two positions is a list of cabinet positions. https://cookpolitical.com/analysis/national/national-politics/six-scenarios-confusion-counting-2020-ballots-not-just-scary
BLM uses racial justice as a means to an end to push a socialist agenda. They are not a grass roots movement. They are professionally funded activists. This has been the case since 2016. When Don Lemon says BLM is about police brutality, he is a liar (https://youtu.be/lzR8x_jlGaI?t=388).
