We’re still brimming with excitement from last week’s #COCLobbyDay2026! We energized Capitol Hill with Black power and raised our voices. Lobby Day was a poignant moment for us. Now, we’re even stronger and ready for the fight ahead. Are you? coc.is/join.

On Memorial Day, we remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. On the first Memorial Day, formerly enslaved Black people buried the remains of Union solders who fought to end slavery. We honor you as you honored them. Photo credit: @usarmymuseum

Black customers have a collective spending power exceeding $1 trillion. So why are corporations selling us out? Because they’re watching out for their own pockets. We know how to hold them accountable. You can help us out! Join us on May 28 to learn more. coc.is/wegotreceipts

The country is at a threshold moment: The Supreme Court and several state legislatures have demonstrated that they are willing to override the decisions of their constituents to push their own interpretation of democracy. This is going to take all of us: colorofchange.org/blog/internal_…

Often, decisions that impact Black communities are made in places that we aren't in. That's why we're bringing Black stories, voices and concerns to our political leaders in Capitol Hill. If you're going to be in the DMV area on May 20, join us! bit.ly/COCLOBBY26

In an article for The Contrarian, our President Nadine Smith centers the truth: Despite decades-long attempts to oppress the Black vote, our ability to organize and galvanize our people has always prevailed. contrariannews.org/p/the-supreme-…

Elon Musk wants us to just go away. NEWS FLASH! We're not going anywhere.

James Broadnax is facing execution tomorrow for a crime he didn't actually commit. It's time to call on Texas Governor Greg Abbott to intervene and grant him a 30-day stay of execution – NOW! win.newmode.net/colorofchange/…

Today, the Supreme Court turned its back on Black voters and other voter communities already experiencing voter suppression. Instead of defending our right to vote, the court decided to undermine the Voting Rights Act and roll back its protections. We condemn this decision.

Recently, Elon retweeted a post naming Color Of Change in the next tier of targets after the DOJ targeted the Southern Poverty Law Center. From his role as head of the DOGE to his social posts, he has prioritized chipping away at institutions he sees as a threat to White America.

Elon Musk is taking to social media to talk about race, claiming that the white race is a “dying minority” and there are calls for its “genocide.” These posts are deranged and unsubstantiated. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

Black workers deserve a Labor Secretary that champions workplace equality and inclusion, not someone who makes the workforce less inclusive. As Labor Secretary, Lori Chavez-DeRemer backed anti-DEI efforts, and Black workers bore the brunt.

The NAACP and NAACP Virginia State Conference are in the final stretch to turn out Virginia's voters. We're initiating the final mobilization efforts for Virginia's redistricting referendum, urging all eligible voters to vote YES on the Proposed Amendment for the April 21 Special Election. This is about more than maps. It's about holding extremist leaders accountable for high gas prices, skyrocketing healthcare costs, and attacks on our democracy. As NAACP President @DerrickNAACP says: "Virginia is our line in the sand, and we will hold it." naacp.org/articles/naacp…

🚨 We have just days to mobilize and save James Broadnax 🚨 The state of Texas plans to execute James on April 30 for a double murder that he did not commit. We're using Texas Governor Greg Abbott to stop his execution. Join us: actionnetwork.org/petitions/texa…

Donald Trump is unstable and unfit. Every day he stays in office, millions of lives are at risk. 🚨The 25th Amendment exists for exactly this moment.🚨 Leaders in Washington: use it. 👉 act.colorofchange.org/sign/stop-dona…
