Today marks the 15th anniversary of @ColorOfChange, formed in the wake of the government's violent neglect of Black people during Hurricane Katrina. Ever since we've remained committed to fighting the barriers holding Black communities back & creating solutions to take us forward
I'm proud of what we've accomplished. We used #NoBloodMoney to get corporations to sever financial ties with white nationalists. We got COPS canceled for their "copaganda". We got Twitter to suspend David Duke and we continued working on tech accountability campaigns.
None of this would have been possible without the people who have taken action with COC, 7 million this year alone, whose activism fuels our work and have allowed us to hold elected leaders accountable with @votingwhileblk. Through it all, we've centered Black joy.
You all know that this work is never done. As long as our ability to vote is under attack and the cops who kill us walk free - @ColorOfChange will be here holding powerful people and institutions accountable. Here's to the next 15 years. 🥂
Join us in our work to hold Facebook accountable for fueling hate group recruitment: act.colorofchange.org/sign/fb-no-hat…
Help us fight for justice for Jacob Blake:
And tell major corporations to divest from police foundations.
Our work continues.
Our work continues.
