Rashad Robinson is President of Color Of Change, a racial justice organization with more than 7 million members who demonstrate the power of Black communities every single day. Color Of Change uses innovative strategies to bring about lasting change in systems and sectors that affect Black people’s lives.
Under Robinson’s leadership, Color Of Change has developed winning strategies for holding local prosecutors accountable to enact major criminal justice reform; holding Big Tech corporations accountable to address the racial injustice they cause; leading the $7 billion advertiser boycott of Facebook; exposing rampant racial discrimination by Wall Street in the federal Paycheck Protection Program; forcing Fortune 500 corporations to end their support of white nationalist organizations and to turn empty statements into tangible commitments; changing the rules for how crime, policing and race are represented on TV; helping to make bail reform a national issue; forcing over 100 major corporations to abandon the right-wing policy shop ALEC; and winning net neutrality as a civil rights issue.
Robinson’s analysis, advocacy and activism are quoted and featured regularly in media such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, Fast Company, Wired, The Root, Forbes, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, The Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter, The Guardian and many other major and community media outlets. He frequently appears on NPR, MSNBC, BET and other broadcast news channels. Color Of Change was recognized in Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies List four separate times and was profiled by Stanford Social Innovation Review.
Robinson serves as a keynote speaker at events across the country, won the Webby Award for Best Political Podcast in 2020, has received several other awards and has been a speaker at public roundtables convened by both Oprah Winfrey and President Obama. He is an often-quoted and followed voice on Twitter and has authored several essays, chapters and papers related to social change. Robinson testified to Congress about regulating Big Tech corporations, and about ensuring racial equity in banking, housing and education, served as Co-Chair of the Aspen Commission on Information Disorder and sits on the board of the Marguerite Casey Foundation.
