What major campaigns or programs has BLEXIT Foundation launched in the past 12 months?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
In the past 12 months available sources show BLEXIT has continued running events, education resources, and a leadership conference tied to Turning Point USA/TPUSA RISE, but they list no single large new national campaign launched in that period (sources show events pages and conference activity) [1] [2] [3]. Financial and filings sources indicate limited grantmaking and that BLEXIT operates as a 501(c) with program activity focused on education, criminal-justice reform, voter engagement and state chapters rather than an explicitly named new nationwide campaign [4] [5] [6].
1. Events and conferences: continued nationwide gatherings, not a single new mega‑campaign
BLEXIT’s public activity in the last year is concentrated on live events and conferences: its events calendar and promotional copy describe immersive “evocative visual art and immersive live experiences” aimed at education and recruitment, and TPUSA’s TPUSA RISE page promoted a BLEXIT Leadership Conference in December 2024 [1] [2] [3]. Sources portray these as recurring organizational programming rather than a discrete, brand‑new national campaign launched within the past 12 months [1] [2].
2. Education and training programs: resources and courses continue to be published
BLEXIT’s resource pages advertise courses and training sessions — including mention of BLEXIT Education kicking off 2025 with training — indicating ongoing programmatic emphasis on civic education and leadership development [7] [8]. Those pages suggest an incremental programmatic roll‑out rather than a single, headline campaign; available listings show content updates and trainings but do not name an entirely new nationwide initiative in the last year [7].
3. Organizational alignment with Turning Point USA / TPUSA RISE: a structural context
Multiple sources reiterate that BLEXIT is “powered by” or merged with Turning Point USA and that TPUSA resources support BLEXIT’s programming, which frames recent activity as partnership‑driven events and initiatives under the TPUSA umbrella [9] [3]. That relationship affects how programs are described: many activities appear as BLEXIT/TPUSA RISE joint efforts rather than independent BLEXIT campaigns [9] [3].
4. Program areas emphasized in filings and nonprofit profiles
GuideStar, JustServe and organizational summaries consistently list five program priorities — school choice, criminal‑justice reform, entrepreneurship, history/education programs, and visual/live experiences — and describe state chapters and volunteer networks spreading those programs at the local level [5] [10] [11]. ProPublica/990 data show operational filings but do not document new nationwide grant programs or a new federally funded campaign within the past year [4] [6].
5. Financial and operational signals: modest grantmaking, grassroots chapter model
Instrumentl’s summary of the group’s 2023 Form 990 reports $0 in grants for that year, and other nonprofit directories emphasize program delivery via events, volunteers and state chapters rather than large grantmaking or new national ad buys [6] [5]. That suggests recent activity has been program execution and events rather than launching a major funded national campaign within the last 12 months [6] [5].
6. Competing narratives and criticisms: political aims vs. community programming
Supportive outlets and BLEXIT materials frame the activity as empowerment, education and grassroots outreach to minority communities [5] [2]. Critics and alternative accounts, including activist reporting and prior coverage, characterize BLEXIT as a partisan effort to shift Black voters toward the Republican Party; sources note the organization’s roots in Candace Owens’ social media campaign and its political messaging history [12] [13] [14]. Both perspectives appear in the record and inform how one interprets events and education programming [5] [13].
7. What the available reporting does not show
Available sources do not mention a single new, named nationwide campaign or program launched by BLEXIT in the past 12 months that differs materially from ongoing events, leadership conferences, and education resources; they do not provide evidence of a large new national voter‑registration blitz, federal grants award, or a big ad campaign during that timeframe [1] [2] [7] [4]. If you want confirmation of any newly launched national initiative, current reporting does not mention it.
Limitations and next steps: my summary relies only on the supplied documents and web pages; local chapter announcements, social‑media posts, or internal planning documents not included in these sources may describe additional activities (not found in current reporting). If you want, I can search BLEXIT’s social feeds and TPUSA event listings for the last 12 months to check for smaller launches or time‑limited campaigns not captured in these directories.
