About
Color of Change is a progressive nonprofit civil rights advocacy organization in the United States. Founded in 2005 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, it works to strengthen the political voice of Black communities and combat racial injustice. The organization utilizes online resources and grassroots organizing, focusing on a wide range of issues including criminal justice reform (e.g., ending cash bail, police accountability, reducing mass incarceration), media representation (e.g., challenging racist portrayals, advocating for diverse hiring and content), economic justice (e.g., corporate accountability, fair labor practices, and addressing systemic economic inequality), and voting rights. They engage in online petitions, social media campaigns, direct action, and lobbying to influence decision-makers in corporations and government to create a more equitable and less hostile world for Black people in America. Notably, the organization led a major advertiser boycott campaign against Glenn Beck's Fox News show in 2009 following his comments about President Obama.
