Color Of Change is the nation’s largest online racial justice organization. Powered by over 1.6 million members, the organization challenges injustice, commissions game-changing research on systems of inequality, advances solutions for racial justice that can transform our world, and hosts conversations with writers, producers and executives to ensure characters and issues that affect Black communities are realistic, authentic and multi-dimensional. During this fireside chat, Rashad will be discussing the impact of COVID-19 on artists of color from a social justice perspective and discuss various resources.
Rashad Robinson is President of Color Of Change, a leading racial justice organization with more than 1.4 million members. Rashad designs winning strategies to build power for Black communities: moving prosecutors to reduce mass incarceration and police violence; forcing over 100 corporations to abandon the right-wing policy shop, ALEC; forcing corporations to stop supporting Trump initiatives and white nationalists; winning net neutrality as a civil rights issue; changing representations of race in Hollywood; moving Airbnb, Google and Facebook to implement anti-racist initiatives; forcing Bill O’Reilly off the air. Rashad appears regularly in major news media and as a keynote speaker nationally. He was among the first in a global cohort of Atlantic Fellows for Racial Equity, and writes a monthly column about race, politics and corporate accountability for The Guardian.
