The Far-left Agitator who led a mob of anti-ICE leftists into a church raked in over $1 million from anti-poverty NGO
According to a 2024 filing, the nonprofit was awarded just over $158,000 that year, while Armstrong made a salary of more than $215,000
Nekima Levy Armstrong, who was one of the organizers of the storming of Cities church in Minnesota earned more than $1 million over a period of six years from a civil rights nonprofit that claimed to fight poverty.
Armstrong served as the Executive director of the Wayfinder Foundation from 2019-2024.
Tax records show that while Armstrong was earning millions, the Foundation disbursed about $700,052 in grants to the communities it claimed to serve, raising questions about the priorities of the NGO that was funded by high-profile donors like Black Lives Matter and the Walton Family Foundation.
Armstrong, who describes herself as a civil rights attorney, “scholar-activist,” and ordained minister, was targeting Pastor David Easterwood, when she led a mob of Anti-ICE into the church disrupting service and terrifying children and church members alike.
Armstrong – who organized the church disruption with three other black women – Compared herself to Martin Luther King Jr. and is doubling down on insisting she was in the right for what she did saying
“We called it the Martin Luther King Jr. edition because our society commemorates Dr. King”
“When you see me speaking Truth to Power, When you see me Disrupting Businesses as Usual,
“That Is A Result Of My Faith, And My Belief in the Gospel of Jesus Christ!”
She is also advising people not to engage in what she calls the “Gaslighting From The Trump Administration and MAGA “
Armstrong is demanding that pastor Easterwood resign, claiming the he works for ICE and saying he does not belong in the church.
Critics, including church leaders, condemned the action as “shameful and unlawful,” and the congregation is considering a lawsuit against the agitators.
Armstrong, is currently the founder and CEO of a cannabis company called Dope Roots
