Black Lives Matter is the largest social movement in the history of this country.
Corporations are making statements in support — but statements are easy. Ensuring that People of Color are hired, paid, promoted, and retained equitably is less so.
We cannot allow the corporate response to be merely words. Together, we can compel action.

2020 IMPACT
Here's just some of the progress you drove this year—
Kroger, the nation’s largest grocery chain, committed to make its packaging 100% reusable, recyclable, or compostable

Funding Racial Justice
The George Floyd murder and the national outrage kindled an introspection at As You Sow that resulted in launching a Racial Justice initiative without dedicated funding. We as a group simply could not stand by when our expertise could move the needle, in a way that mattered.
Your gift is the resource that makes it happen.
We were able to launch this work only because of your belief in us. We cannot allow empty statements of support for Racial Justice that are not backed with action. Together, we’ll hold corporations accountable.
We’ve got the data. Now we’ll go one-on-one with the companies.
Will you help?
The number of companies we take on depends directly on how much money we raise.
Make it happen. Give today.
YES. This moment matters.
I WANT TO HOLD CORPORATIONS ACCOUNTABLE!
