Colorado farm owners told Black Lives Matter donations prohibited

SOUTH FORK — Two farm owners in southern Colorado who started asking customers for Black Lives Matter donations have sought legal advice after South Fork officials told them that asking for donations for any organization was not allowed on town property.

Sol Mountain Farm Manager Ike Manobla and his partner started asking for voluntary dollar donations among community members at the South Fork Friday Market, KUSA-TV reported.

“After they ordered something we rang them up, and I asked, ‘Would you like to donate $1 to Black Lives Matter,’” Manobla said, adding that they made $3 that day and sparked a lot of conversations.

Manobla said not everyone in the conservative town appreciated the conversations, adding that the farm was notified by the town that asking for donations was prohibited.
