Gwen Berry at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials. She is wearing her medal and has a shirt wrapped around her waist that says "Activist Athlete." She is holding flowers in one hand and doing a peace sign with her other hand.

“If it wasn’t for Color Of Change, I probably would not be in this sport,” said Gwen Berry, a Black woman athlete, Olympian, record-holder in hammer-throwing, Pan-American gold medalist, and award-winning social justice activist.

John,

This is your last chance to make a $30 donation and receive a free Activist Athlete shirt, designed by Gwen Berry herself and is a replica of the one she wore during her protest at the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials. With the Tokyo Olympics only two weeks away, and numerous Olympic institutions working every angle to exclude Black women from these games, now more than ever do we need to support Black women athletes. While the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) has changed their stance on protests thanks to pressure from Berry, Color Of Change members, and dozens of athletes, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has doubled down with its discriminatory Rule 50 ban on protests.1 Now you can join Color Of Change in publicly denouncing the IOC’s enforcement of Rule 50. Secure your own piece of history by making a $30 donation and Color Of Change will send you your very own Activist Athlete shirt! 

DONATE NOWThis gift is only available to U.S. residents. Please ensure that your address is up to date when making your donation and allow up to 2 weeks for delivery. For any questions, please contact [email protected]. 

Until justice is real, 
The Color Of Change team
