What Is ColorOfChange.org?
ColorOfChange.org exists to strengthen Black America’s political voice. Our goal is to empower our members—Black Americans and our allies—to make government more responsive to the concerns of Black Americans and to bring about positive political and social change for everyone.
We were heart-broken and outraged by the catastrophe that followed Hurricane Katrina. And we were devastated to realize that no African-American organization or coalition had the capacity to respond on the necessary scale.
Hurricane Katrina made it clear that our lack of a political voice has life-and-death consequences. With no one to speak for them, hundreds of thousands of people—largely Black, poor, and elderly—were left behind to die.
James Rucker serves as executive director of ColorOfChange.org. Prior, James served as Director of Grassroots Mobilization for MoveOn.org Political Action and Moveon.org Civic Action and was instrumental in developing and executing on fundraising, technology, and campaign strategies.
Dani McClain joined the ColorOfChange campaign staff in the winter of 2008. Dani is a graduate of Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, and before ColorOfChange worked for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel covering education.

I thought we were all supposed to be color blind. I guess that’s just the rules for white people.

emand governors put people above politics
A group of Republican governors is refusing to accept federal stimulus funds that are intended to expand and extend unemployment benefits. Most of these governors are in states where Black unemployment is more than two times that of Whites, and all of them are doing it score political points.

We’ve had people pimping their companies to us and we take great delight in telling them we why we’re saying NO.
