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.

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.
