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. 1889436 Media Corporate and Economic JusticeColor of Changes ongoing economic justice work holding corporations accountable, pushing to ensure that the wealthiest among us pay their fair share , and protecting the safety net of critical government benefits and services needed by the most vulnerable is aimed at ensuring that all Americans are represented, served and protected regardless of race or class. Color of Change has leveraged our members voices to push back against corporations who are exploiting lowe-wage workers and partnered with groups on the ground fighting for paid sick leave and raising the minimum wage. Color of Change was focused on pushing back against corporate over reaching economic policies and continued to identify and expose corporations that are members of organization that advocate for policies that are harmful to Black communities. 1707531 Criminal JusticeColor of Change continued targeting the individuals, companies, industries and agencies that profit from mass incarceration with strategic campaigns that undermine their relationships with decision makers and the public. 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. 1025573 Training and OrganizingWe offered training to local organizers through webinars, daylong workshops and weeklong intensives. Our trainings were designed to be interactive learning experiences. We begin with a discussion of best practices in online organizing. We view examples of successful digital campaigns and explain to participants how to plan press events. We stress the importance of hinging campaigns on storytelling, and give participants practice in crafting narratives that build support for Black communities. We model interdependent leadership structures by distributing roles and responsibilities and making action plans for participants. We are mindful of meeting organizers where they are, and work to support and coach them on how to become more effective leaders and build people power to win change that adds real value to peoples lives. 827568 Voting Rights and DemocracyColor Of Change has been using the power of our members voices and the media to permanently reshape the debate on voting rights and voter suppression efforts that disproportionately impact Black communities. By crafting campaigns specifically targeting Black audiences, we are making the issue of voting rights real and tangible and bringing Black voters into important conversations. As we boost the participation of Black voters in our democracy over the long-term, Color Of Change is educating Black voters on their voting rights and providing them with the tools to fight back against voter suppression and make their voices heard at the polls. 1853141 8100612 true true true false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true 0 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA DC NY X Danita Hinton 6463953711 1714 Franklin Street Ste 100 136 Oakland CA 94612 Andre Banks Board Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ian Fuller Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rashad Robinson President 40.00 0.00 X X 0 338343 4686 Dream Hampton Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wayne Jordan Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tricia Rose Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chastity Lord Chief Operating Officer 40.00 0.00 X 0 249663 0 Ismael Savadogo Chief Financial Officer 40.00 0.00 X 0 172548 3450 Rashid Shabazz Chief Marketing and Storytell 40.00 0.00 X 0 150040 3000 Arisha Hatch Managing Director 40.00 0.00 X 0 175145 3065 Kwesi Chappin Field Director 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Roberts Senior Campaign Director 40.00 0.00 X 0 144234 2524 Hope Woods Deputy Director 40.00 0.00 X 0 138965 2575 Brandi Collins Sr Campaign Director 40.00 0.00 X 0 144234 2524 Kristi Henderson Sr Director of Influencer En 40.00 0.00 X 0 138515 0 Marcus Haymon Director of Operations and Sp 40.00 0.00 X 0 126797 2560 0 1778484 24384 8 false true false Berlin Rosen 15 Maiden Lane Ste 1600 New York NY 10038 Public Relations 663211 The Atlantic Group LLC 501 Marritt 7 Plaza Level Norwalk CT 06851 Staffing 337045 Uni Tel Group LLC 800 Rike Drive Ste B Millstone Township NJ 08535 Network Technology 187802 Its Not Safe Out Here LLC 118 8th Ave 11E Brooklyn NY 11215 Management Consult 118220 Bell Blvd Partners 708 Third Ave 21st Fl New York NY 10017 Real Estate Consul 104431 5 11351155 11351155 Fees for Service 900099 260857 260857 260857 12737 12737 11624749 273594 0 0 X 903771 741496 104912 57363 2618495 2149797 367112 101586 96202 78969 12892 4341 326063 267653 43696 14714 272003 223276 36452 12275 29401 8596 20089 716 94080 94080 1649088 1491768 153125 4195 514847 512137 2560 150 1226230 371298 847338 7594 1181009 149639 995216 36154 1524493 1132546 390500 1447 169388 144996 15809 8583 62592 62592 18978 253 18725 Event Expenses 724239 637573 81407 5259 Professional Development 170763 18133 149150 3480 Sponsorships 145483 102453 43030 Dues Licenses Service Fees 94923 29812 64376 735 74019 40217 32509 1293 11896067 8100612 3535570 259885 1969788 3712356 5052367 546239 1277500 3883350 5623 65298 162833 552611 62592 22122 490019 62321 234633 8455019 9029430 1625016 1578738 892007 1625016 2470745 X 1664550 1093205 5165453 5465480 6830003 6558685 8455019 9029430 -271318 0 X false true X true false X 2871925 2670380 5807270 9207532 11351155 31908262 2871925 2670380 5807270 9207532 11351155 31908262 31908262 317 1900 3830 12361 12737 31145 31939407 0.99900 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 5000 500 125 true true Direct and indirect political campaign activities (Part I-A, line 1) In July of 2018, an employee of ColorOfChange.org Education Fund made an unauthorized $5,000 contribution to a political action committee using organization funds.
