Wednesday, November 29, 2023
After Black Lives Matter Rhode Island Co-Founder Mark Fisher came out in support of former President Donald Trump's reelection bid in 2024, the Black Lives Matter Rhode Island Political Action Committee (BLM RI PAC) on Wednesday issued a statement distancing itself from Fisher.
On November 13, GoLocalProv.com -- who had spoken with Fisher, who attended St. Raphael Academy and lived in Rhode Island for close to twenty years, was first to report locally on his support of Trump -- and that Fisher considers himself an independent, and has become “disillusioned” by the Democratic Party.
This week, BLM RI PAC released the following statement:

The views expressed by Mr. Fisher in the referenced Fox News segment do not reflect the values or beliefs of BLM RI PAC. We would like to emphasize that Mark Fisher claims association with Black Lives Matter Rhode Island, a non profit organization.
