S1 Ep01: Digital Organizing for Movement Building

Leadership Moves with Mallika Dutt

Join Rashad Robinson, leader of the largest online civil rights organization in the United States, as he lays out what’s needed to take a moment of possibility into a movement for systems change. You’ll be riveted by Rashad’s descriptions of how Color Of Change has built the political infrastructure to successfully take on big corporations like FaceBook and others to challenge hate speech and more.

Color Of Change is driven by 7 million members who are building power for Black communities. The organization uses innovative strategies to bring about systems change in the industries that affect Black people’s lives: Silicon Valley, Wall Street, Hollywood, Washington, corporate board rooms, local prosecutor offices, state capitol buildings and city halls around the country. colorofchange.org
