'White Lives Matter' is now a protected trademark
A wise, anonymous someone bought trademark rights to the phrase, protecting it from being used for monetary gain without the oky-dokey. Then, that person gave the rights to a pair of radio hosts in Phoenix, asking that any monetary gains they might make be shared with certain worthy organizations.
Now, anyone trying to sell a White Lives Matter shirt or use the phrase for monetary gain will be handed a cease-and-desist letter by two Black radio hosts who own the trademark.
Ramses Ja and Quinton Ward are the hosts of Civic Cipher, a radio show based in Phoenix. A listener of the show reached out to them and told the hosts that they had acquired the trademark to White Lives Matter but thought protection of the phrase was better left in the hands of Ja and Ward.

Thinking some big left leaning law firm with oodles of resources might look into helping Ramses Ja & Quinton Ward enforce their power over monetary use of the phrase. Pro Bono for the greater good and a helping of F-U to the white supremacists and pandering pols.
