The right wing knows they can’t defeat Black candidates on the merits so they exploit hatred, bigotry and implicit bias to attack our credibility. This type of dog-whistle politics will not be allowed to proceed unchecked no matter whether it comes from Trump’s GOP, the media or even Democrats. Will you join us to clap back when Black candidates are attack?

Join us in the clap back by chipping in to the Color Of Change Dog Whistle Rapid Response Fund!

While Trump is an evolution of Republican racism in politics, this is just the latest chapter in a story that dates back to the Southern Strategy of the 50s and 60s. The fundamentals are basic: appeal to white voters by degrading Black people.

When we run that same theory applies to Black candidates. We saw it for years with attacks from Trump and other against President Obama, not on his policies or ideas, but on the idea that he was even an American.

Now Trump’s advisors are taking their show on the road. Spreading the hateful tactics they’ve refined on his campaign and selling them to GOP candidates across the country. They can’t be allowed to profit from fomenting racial animosity and manipulating our democracy.

We are powered by those who want freedom from racism and injustice. That’s you.

Color Of Change helps you respond effectively to the injustice you see in the world around you. We effectively challenge the corporations that need to be challenged. We effectively challenge the politicians who need to be challenged. We don’t stop. Until justice is real.

It doesn’t cost anything to be a member, but when you donate, you help us take on more winning campaigns, launch more strategic initiatives, and go after the people who are standing in the way of progress—for Black people and all people. Color Of Change is here to make decision makers nervous when they think about neglecting and exploiting our communities. By holding them accountable, and championing solutions for social change, we are making society less hostile and more human for Black people in America. Help us do it.
