Make sure innovation leaders are at the forefront of combating racism
Right now we have a powerful opportunity to raise standards across one of the largest, fastest growing industries in America: the tech industry.
We want to make sure that the innovation leaders of America are also at the forefront of combating racism with-in their companies and across the country (using their billion-dollar resources). But experience tells us that they'll stay on the sidelines unless groups like ColorOfChange push them to get involved and take a stand.
By holding startups like GoFundMe and Indiegogo accountable, we've sent a strong message and set important precedents. But we've barely scratched the surface of this critical work. ColorOfChange has a proven track record of holding tech companies accountable and holding them to a higher standard. We got Twitter to release their diversity data; GoFundMe to stop profiting from Michael Brown's death; and now Indiegogo to remove the Michael Slager fundraisers. Chip it to strengthen this necessary work. Our small, nimble staff will ensure that your dollars go a long way.
If you can't give, we completely understand. Please help boost this campaign by sharing it on Facebook.
