We continued our work to identify and expose harmful economic polices driven by Wall St. banks and corporations that are part of groups like the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). We leveraged the voices of our members to advance policies and solutions that meet the needs of our communities and act as a racial justice authority to the political left, as its members have yet to significantly represent or fight for the issues and concerns that affect Black people the most. And finally, we developed campaign ideas to disrupt the debt-to-work economy that requires working class and middle class Black people to borrow beyond their means just to compete in the job market. 461883 Civic EngagementIn 2016 we launched OrganizeFor an online organizing platform that allows members to lead local, statewide and regional campaigns to force policymakers to address injustice impacting Black communities. OrganizeFor is the only online petition platform dedicated solely to strengthening the political power and civic engagement of Black people. Through it, our members create roughly 400 petitions a year on issues from demanding higher wages and better hours for workers at Walmart to pushing back on voter suppression in Florida. OrganizeFor gives members a forum to speak up, take action, and manage their political lives. It also includes training resources that we bolster with workshops to groom a new generation of leaders in our communities. 459391 Criminal JusticeOver the past year, Color Of Change has led partners across the country organizers, lawyers, policy experts, and communicators to build a national prosecutor accountability community. We built the first and only national database of the 2400 District Attorneys with detailed information on election cycles and how they apply their influence upon the lives of people within their district. Additionally, we built a community of advocates working collectively who helped to popularize the important role of DA seats, including important accountability work on DAs in Philadelphia, Houston and Chicago. 205633 1779487 false true false false 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 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true 46 0 true 39 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 6 5 true 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 5106634840 1714 Franklin Street Ste 100-136 Oakland CA 94612 James Rucker Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Heidi Hess Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Rashad Robinson Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 216502 0 7046 Becky Bond Board member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Adrianne Shropshire Board member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ian Fuller Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 dream hampton Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sonia Pena CFO 40.00 0.00 X 95275 0 7235 Keith Goodman Chief of Staff 40.00 0.00 X 110760 0 7346 Arisha Hatch Managing Dir 40.00 0.00 X 151076 0 7466 Scott Roberts Campaign Director 40.00 0.00 X 107053 0 11446 Sheena Brown Development Direct 40.00 0.00 X 109937 0 8282 790603 48821 5 false true false Fission Strategy LLC 419 7th St NW Washington DC 20004 Strategist 158847 Berlin Rosen 15 Maiden Lane New York NY 10038 Consultant 245313 Ryan Sensor 383 St Johns Place Brooklyn NY 11238 Consultant 115000 3 2585551 2585551 Events Honorarium 40500 40500 40500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2626051 40500 X 0 0 0 0 154699 125306 12376 17017 0 402343 328358 31451 42534 7080 5766 557 757 50098 40643 4134 5321 59332 48321 3800 7211 0 9078 9078 26290 26290 0 0 0 242508 217695 10323 14490 293416 281039 8251 4126 53464 35374 16515 1575 435825 351227 30410 54188 0 109988 92698 13076 4214 197262 174068 15418 7776 0 21706 19108 1738 860 0 0 0 9380 9380 Professional Development 52127 45873 4170 2084 Event expenses 13722 12152 1047 523 Dues, licenses, service fees 6445 6445 Printing and Publications 2112 1859 169 84 0 2146875 1779487 204628 162760 1098733 2467792 0 0 1219464 397084 0 0 0 0 13742 7588 0 0 0 0 0 27428 38391 2359367 2910855 107485 179797 107485 179797 X 1088036 1586877 1163846 1144181 2251882 2731058 2359367 2910855 479176 X false true X true false RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2626051 2626051 2626051 2146875 2146875 2146875 X X X X X X false false false false false false false false false false Arisha Hatch Managing Dir 151076 7466 158542 Rashad Robinson Executive Dir. 216502 7046 223548 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Training and OrganizingWe offered training to local organizers through webinars, daylong workshops and, soon, 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 how to plan press events, the importance of hinging campaigns on storytelling, and give participants practice in crafting narratives that build support for Black communities. We model interdependent leadership structure by distributing roles and responsibilities and making action plans for participants. We are mindful of meeting organizers where they are at, 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.
