Color Of Change is the nation’s largest online racial justice organization. We help people respond effectively to injustice in the world around us, design campaigns powerful enough to end practices that unfairly hold Black people back and champion solutions that move us all forward. As a national online force driven by 7 million members we move decision-makers in corporations and government to create a more human and less hostile world for Black people in America.
TAKE ACTION
In the last two months, Color Of Change has helped more than 7 million people demand justice for Black people killed by police. Through our campaigns we have targeted racism and injustice on every level of society from Hollywood to Silicon Valley and the halls of Congress. Most recently Color Of Change and our members have successfully gotten the Crime TV shows COPS and Live PD canceled after a report we released exposed the ways these shows normalize injustice in the criminal justice system. In July, Color Of Change teamed up with other major civil rights organizations and got hundreds of corporations to pull $7 billion in advertising from Facebook during the month of July as part of our #StopHateForProfit boycott which demands an end to voter suppression, misinformation and hate groups on the platform.
Now we’re calling on all corporations to go #BeyondTheStatement, and back up their Black Lives Matter posts with tangible, systemic change for Black employees and Black people nation-wide. Earlier this year, more than 7 million people helped Color Of Change lead a digital push for justice for George Floyd and our #UntilJusticeIsReal campaigns moves to focus on systemic change by supporting #DefundThePolice campaigns in New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Minneapolis. In Minneapolis the City Council is now planning to disband the police entirely. On the political front, Color Of Change is staying focused on advocating for safe elections and a safe Census collection process in Black communities. Throughout the pandemic Color Of Change has led #TheBlackResponse to COVID-19, a resource and action center meant to help Black people, most impacted by the pandemic, advocate for the systemic changes that will keep us safe moving.
