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. 730169 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. 510817 Civic EngagementColor Of Change is 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. 627427 2757605 true true false true 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 false true 14 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false 0 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 NY X X Sonia Pena 5106634836 1714 Franklin Street Ste 100-136 Oakland CA 94612 Rashad Robinson President/E.D. 40.00 0.00 X X 0 216502 7046 Andre Banks Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 7500 0 Cedric Brown Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Wayne Jordan Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tricia Rose Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 James Rucker Board Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ian Fuller Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sonia Pena CFO 40.00 0.00 X 0 95275 7235 Keith Goodman Chief of Staff 40.00 0.00 X 0 110760 7346 Arisha Hatch Managing Dir 0.00 0.00 X 0 151076 7466 Scott Roberts Campaign Director 40.00 0.00 X 0 107053 11446 Sheena Brown Development Dir 40.00 0.00 X 0 109937 8282 798103 48821 0 false true false 0 5807270 5807270 Fees for service 1289 1289 1289 3830 3830 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5812389 1289 3830 0 0 0 0 790603 656200 55343 79060 0 704172 588440 46869 68863 13150 10950 899 1301 78758 65579 5385 7794 159314 132654 10894 15766 0 10334 10334 41753 41753 0 0 0 236155 190218 17962 27975 409826 363547 26455 19824 16025 12844 1788 1393 38400 30734 4865 2801 0 204280 173830 24360 6090 358963 344709 8255 5999 0 65774 60998 2927 1849 0 0 0 2701 2701 Training,hiring,prof devl 87680 75161 10100 2419 Equipment Rental/Mtnc 26255 23296 2367 592 Telephone 19704 16930 2219 555 Other professional services 16074 3442 12485 147 11486 8073 1323 2090 3291407 2757605 289284 244518 344161 381073 1161508 1374312 0 250000 2529368 0 0 0 0 2570 4870 9768 22107 9768 0 0 0 0 66689 62321 1847035 4361712 333532 327227 333532 327227 X 982253 961199 531250 3073286 1513503 4034485 1847035 4361712 2520982 X false true X true false X 751063 1736800 2871925 2670380 5807270 13837438 0 0 751063 1736800 2871925 2670380 5807270 13837438 6982426 6855012 50 37 317 1900 3830 6134 0 0 13843572 29289 0.49520 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false 9768 9768 9768 5812389 5812389 5812389 3291407 3291407 3291407 X X X false false false false false false false false false false Arisha Hatch Managing Dir 151076 7466 158542 Rashad Robinson President/E.D. 216502 7046 223548 Client Note 1 Client Note 1 - Schedule R - Transactions with Related OrganizationsPart V 1n and 1oRelated organizations share space and staff.
