Nekima Levy Armstrong allegedly not only has a gift for organizing disruptive protests, but for paying herself a great salary.

The far-left agitator who helped organize the barrage of protestors who erupted inside a Minnesota church to protest ICE, raked in a cool $1 million in six years, as she led a civil rights non-profit that worked on anti-poverty issues.
Nekima Levy Armstrong, whose website identifies her as a civil rights lawyer and “scholar-activist,” was one of the organizers who orchestrated the invasion of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday, according to Fox News. The target of the protestors was one of the church’s pastors, who they believe was a leader of ICE.
For the last six years, according to a journalistic investigation done by Fox News, Armstrong has been living it up as the founder and CEO of Dope Roots, a cannabis company. She was also the director for at least six years of Wayfinder Foundation, from 2019 to 2024, according to tax filings.
The 2024 tax filing shows that even though the foundation was focused on giving grants to anti-poverty community initiatives, it awarded just $158,811 that year, while Armstrong pocketed a salary of $215,726. She also nabbed $40,548 in health benefits, benefit plan contributions and deferred compensation, according to the 2024 filing.
In 2023, Wayfinder awarded $133,698 in grants, but Armstrong received a hefty salary of $170,726, plus $44,300 in other “compensation from the organization and related organizations,” according to that year’s filing.
While the nonprofit’s website is now defunct, Fox News Digital examined some of its past pages, and it reveals that in its “signature Community Activist Fellowship (CAF) program, we intentionally invest in Black women and Latina activists, organizers, and change agents who are using their social, political, and financial capital to challenge the status quo and to disrupt business-as-usual within systems that perpetuate oppression.”
“Where others see deficiencies, lack, and want, Wayfinder sees opportunity for little revolutions that place demands on power and change systems for the better,” Armstrong says in a message to potential donors on the defunct website of the Wayfinder Foundation. “We get there by investing directly in the most basic unit of change in a child’s life, their mother.”
