ABOUT COLOR OF CHANGE

Color Of Change is one of the largest Black-led racial justice organizations in the country, driven by millions of email and SMS subscribers. Our power comes from our ability to translate our members’ voices into the leverage needed to win real-world change for Black people.

From working to replace district attorneys unwilling to punish violent police officers to pushing back against Silicon Valley enablers of white nationalists, Color Of Change has a winning track record of holding decision-makers – corporate and political – accountable to Black people.

Founded in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Color Of Change has spent more than a decade building power by leveraging an inside-outside approach to advocacy, and we’re eager to expand our capacity to win progressive legislative policy changes that result in closing equity gaps for Black people.
