Trahern Pollard and Jaclyn McGuigan, former directors of We Push for Peace, a Minnesota nonprofit, are accused of embezzling over $6.5 million intended for community outreach and violence prevention initiatives. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has filed a civil lawsuit against them, stating that instead of aiding the community, they used the funds for personal luxuries such as trips to Las Vegas, luxury vehicles, and extravagant shopping sprees. Pollard allegedly misused charity funds to pay for personal expenses, including child support and tax bills, while McGuigan is accused of transferring $1,000 weekly into her personal account and misappropriating government grant funds. The lawsuit highlights the severe mismanagement and abuse of the nonprofit, which had previously secured lucrative contracts for community services. As investigations unfold, Pollard is also accused of filing false statements regarding the charity’s finances, further complicating the case against them.
