We position ourselves in between media producers and the harmful media vehicles they would create by disrupting the chain of production that allows harmful media content to exist in the first place. At the same time, we push back and work to take existing harmful content off the air while supporting and promoting complex, humanizing, and varied portrayals of people of color.	Desc

We aimed to neutralize the power of the opponents of criminal justice reform and to redirect the revenues they have been plundering from the system back into Black communities that have been the most heavily devastated by mass incarceration. Additionally, Color of Change worked closely with our partners and emerging black leaders to build and hold strategies together on police accountability, while leveraging our large national membership to serve as a powerful multiplier for the voices and actions within black communities.
