DescMedia, Corporate and Economic JusticeColor Of Change's 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 low-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 overreach in economic policies and continued to identify and expose corporations that are members of organizations that advocate for policies that are harmful to Black communities.Desc

DescCriminal 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.Desc

DescCulture and Media EngagementColor Of Change played a unique and effective role in transforming the impact of media in America by focusing on systemic change in the areas where we can have the most influence. 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

ExplanationThe organization and its Executive Director have been increasingly targeted due to the nature of their work and campaigns. The organization and the board as a result became increasingly concerned about the physical safety of the Executive Director due to his position at the organization and his public exposure. The Board of Directors ultimately determined that it was in the best interests of the organization to make arrangements for a secure location with increased security measures where the Executive Director could live. A lease was signed by the organization to provide a secure lodging facility in-kind to the Executive Director for residential use.ExplanationTxt

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Media, Corporate and Economic JusticeColor Of Change's 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 low-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 overreach in economic policies and continued to identify and expose corporations that are members of organizations that advocate for policies that are harmful to Black communities. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Training and Organizing We 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 review 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.
