The press release made no mention of Moore briefly serving on the board of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation in 2022.

Moore, who has been described by media outlets as an informal adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris, was tapped in February 2022 to advise President Biden during his nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, Fox News Digital reported at the time.

The convention is slated for Aug. 19-22, 2024, in Chicago.
Moore’s involvement with the BLM movement followed painstaking efforts by Biden and mainstream Democrats to distance themselves from the anti-police rhetoric of the defund the police movement embraced by the party's progressive wing.
