U.S : Help us fight against TRUMP supporter violence.

UNTIL JUSTICE IS REAL

Our lives depend on how we respond in this moment.




Dear friend,

 

 

As I send you this message, millions of Americans are watching in horror as armed Trump extremists storm the U.S. Capitol building—effectively halting Congress’s formal certification of president-elect Biden, engaging in a seditious insurrection.1 They've been enabled by a media committed to giving voice to "both sides," aided by social media platforms that refused to address election misinfo and white nationalism, egged on by far-right lawmakers, and given differential treatment by the same law enforcement agents that shower us with tear gas, batons, and rubber bullets when we peacefully protest. As the violence in D.C. continues, so, too, does violence across the country, where pro-Trump militia have been storming capitol buildings in Kansas and Georgia.2,3 Today shows us what we’ve known for some time : that the pro-Trump insurrection puts us and our country in very real, tangible danger. 

 

Our safety—our lives—depend on how we respond in this moment. And so we will continue to steadfastly fight for our right to live, to thrive, and we will fight to protect our democracy. Join us in the fight.

In moments like these, it is as important as any moment of injustice, if not more so, to take action. You, as a friend of Color Of Change, have demonstrated your commitment to fighting for justice for Black people, thereby fighting for the changes that are right for our country and the world around us. 

 

Join us today as we : 

  • Leverage our inside-outside strategy to demand Trump be banned from Twitter and Facebook;4
  • Push tech platforms like Twitter and Facebook to prevent white nationalists from using the platforms to recruit and organize;5
  • Fight the spread of misinformation on Facebook, Twitter, and across social media platforms;6 and
  • Demand JP Morgan Chase and Stripe cut ties with far-right funding platform GiveSendGo, which is helping white nationalists in D.C. fundraisers as we speak.7 

 

 

 

 

Contribute NOW to the fight for our lives.

 

 

 

 

Until justice is real,
