A Black Lives Matter activist whose Boston anti-violence non-profit was shut down last month as a federal fraud case against her and her husband continues to unfold wants unemployment benefits.
Monica Cannon-Grant, 41, who formerly headed the non-profit Violence in Boston, and her husband, Clark Grant, 38, were federally indicted in March for allegedly soliciting millions of dollars in donations following the 2020 killing of George Floyd that they used to "enrich themselves and their designees."
In her first court appearance on the 18-count indictment in March, conditions for Cannon-Grant’s release included that she "not apply for, or facilitate the application for, any unemployment benefits unless approved by the Court," according to the Boston Herald.
Her retained attorney, Robert Goldstein, filed a motion Wednesday asking to amend those terms.

Dan Price, the Seattle-based CEO who drastically cut his own pay in 2015 so that workers could earn $70,000 each, resigned Wednesday.
Price, the embattled 38-year-old CEO of credit card processing company Gravity Payments, resigned from the company he founded 18 years ago, he told his 100-plus employees before making the announcement on Twitter.
"My No. 1 priority is for our employees to work for the best company in the world, but my presence has become a distraction here," Price wrote in a statement on Twitter.
Chief operating officer Tammi Kroll will take over as CEO, he said in the tweet.
