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. 1240661 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. 973744 Culture 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. 1491739 5708231 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false 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 false false false true false false false true 65 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 6 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA DC NY X X James Williams CPA 6463953711 1714 Franklin Street Ste 100-136 Oakland CA 94612 Andre Banks Board Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ian Fuller Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Rashad Robinson Executive Dir. 0.00 40.00 X X 0 322402 7394 dream hampton Director 2.00 0.00 X 42250 0 0 Wayne Jordan Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tricia Rose Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Arisha Hatch Managing Director 0.00 40.00 X 0 155971 7377 Chastity Lord Chief Operating Officer 0.00 40.00 X 0 149052 9059 Ismael Savadogo Chief Financial Officer 0.00 40.00 X 0 167095 828 Sheena Brown Development Dir 0.00 40.00 X 0 111759 8574 Kwesi Chappin Field Director 0.00 40.00 X 0 103806 8012 Brandi Collins Senior Director 0.00 40.00 X 0 106684 6894 Scott Roberts Senior Director 0.00 40.00 X 0 107985 10769 Hope Wood Deputy Director 0.00 40.00 X 0 107744 10868 42250 1332498 69775 0 false true false BerlinRosen LTD 15 Maiden Lane New York NY 10038 Public relations 299446 Middle Seat 8319 16th St Silver Spring MD 20910 Digital ads 118885 2 9207532 9207532 Fees for service 50847 50847 50847 12361 12361 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9270740 63208 X 0 0 0 0 555010 498342 22408 34260 0 1836309 1648817 74139 113353 17469 13407 3299 763 83316 76289 2661 4366 289335 259011 11303 19021 0 42576 28398 12564 1614 71429 71429 0 0 0 1362693 1209263 78616 74814 116977 116042 541 394 297791 251301 33494 12996 0 0 468152 397953 50153 20046 825503 791987 24638 8878 0 87880 75225 8202 4453 0 0 0 19332 509 18794 29 Event expenses 222580 212281 6552 3747 Training,hiring,prof devl 73652 65356 4430 3866 Sponsorships 41250 40650 350 250 Dues, Licenses, service fees 36997 2020 34815 162 26971 21380 1621 3970 6475222 5708231 460009 306982 381073 1969788 1374312 5052367 1277500 2529368 5623 0 0 0 0 4870 65298 22122 9768 22122 0 0 0 0 62321 62321 4361712 8455019 327227 1625016 327227 1625016 X 961199 1664550 3073286 5165453 4034485 6830003 4361712 8455019 2795518 X false true X true false X 1736800 2871925 2670380 5807270 9207532 22293907 0 0 1736800 2871925 2670380 5807270 9207532 22293907 15501042 6792865 37 317 1900 3830 12361 18445 0 0 22312352 30578 0.30440 0.49520 X -9768 -9768 31890 31890 22122 9270740 9270740 9270740 6475222 6475222 6475222 X true true X X X X X X false false false false false false false false false false Arisha Hatch Managing Director 155971 7377 163348 Chastity Lord Chief Operating Officer 134044 15008 9059 158111 Ismael Savadogo Chief Financial Officer 167095 828 167923 Rashad Robinson Executive Dir. 228871 25000 68531 7394 329796 Part I, Line 1a: Relevant information in regards to selections on 1a. The 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.
