John, 

As soon as we realized the pandemic was going to upend the lives of our
loved ones and wreak havoc on incarcerated people, we knew we had to jump
in to protect the most vulnerable people.

We didn’t wait. We took action. Within the first few days, Color Of Change
launched a nationwide campaign demanding elected officials at every level
immediately implement a humane plan to protect incarcerated people and
corporations end all practices that unjustly harm people behind bars and
their families.

Within two days, 75 partner organizations stood with us, more than 20,000
Color Of Change members like you, John, signed the petition,
our fight was gaining steam on social media, and we helped local community
groups launch more than 20 campaigns across the country to bring the fight
locally.

And even though we’ve had some victories, the fight continues to this day,
and beyond.

I’m going to be honest, John — this has been an unprecedented
time for Color Of Change. We have launched more campaigns in the first
half of this year than I can remember in my 5 years of running the
Criminal Justice department. But this is why we’re here. Because elected
officials, Black and Brown communities, and people just like you are
relying on us to show up in these moments. You’re relying on us to provide
you with strategic ways to take action about the injustices you see in the
world.

And we need your help to power this ship. As long as we’re here and you’re
in the fight with us, corporations, and elected officials alike, will be
held accountable.

[ [link removed] ]John, we're winning in our fight to hold corporations
accountable to Black lives. Will you make a monthly investment of $10 a
month to power the movement you helped create? 

John, you may have already noticed that Color Of Change isn’t
afraid to call out corporations and elected officials whenever we see
injustices toward Black people. Like when GoFundMe allowed the killers of
Ahmaud Arbery to raise money on their platform. And we got their
fundraising pages taken down. Or when prison phone companies exploit
incarcerated people. And we fought in Dallas to reduce the jail phone rate
by 95%. Or when Judge Mary Ellen Brennan jailed a 15-year-old Black girl
for not doing her homework. And we fought to get her released.

And because we fight unabashedly for Black communities, we don’t take
money from corporations or elected officials. We refuse to trade money for
silence on racism. This is why we need you in the fight with us. We can’t
risk losing this momentum in our movement that you helped us fight to get.
