John,

It’s happening again: Donald Trump, the disgraced former president, is
back on social media, stirring things up just like he did before the Jan.
6, 2021, insurrection. Last weekend, worried he would be arrested or
indicted today, Trump called on his followers to “take our nation back.”

Almost immediately, angry white supremacists and far-right bullies went on
Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to answer Trump’s unmistakable dog
whistles. They’re itching for a fight — and they’ve put Color Of Change
high on their hit list.

For the last few days, the mob has attacked us on social media and in
cyberspace. We’ve dealt with credible threats by beefing up security and
temporarily closing our offices in New York and Washington. Responding to
these threats in real time — and refuting the mud thrown at us in the
media — has strained our capacity, hamstrung our daily operations and kept
us from our mission of dismantling institutional racism in America.

John, it’s clear why the racists and right-wing trolls are
coming for us. They are frustrated because Color Of Change fights for
Black people: We push prosecutors to use their power for racial justice,
hold police accountable and make sure that no one is above the law –
especially not the rich and powerful. We go after Big Tech corporations
that allow hate speech on their social media platforms, and we take on the
credit-card companies that process their payments. Color Of Change is
pushing back on the far-right attacks, but they are major distractions
that force us to divert resources we need to keep fighting — and winning.

But it’s also clear that we are facing a major threat at a crucial moment.
Standing up to attacks from dangerous ideologues who want to turn back the
civil rights clock is an all-hands-on-deck fight that’s draining our
resources. And – make no mistake – things will escalate if Trump is
indicted. If we’re going to win, we’ll need your help. [ [link removed] ]Will you show

Thanks to the dedication of members like you, we've been able to push back
against the anger and hatred of the far right. But the tsunami of rage and
vitriol that’s come at us since Saturday will only increase if Trump is
indicted or arrested. We need your help to defend our work and attack the
big-money corporations and racist systems that harm our communities.

John, you’re one of Color Of Change’s top supporters — so we’re
asking you to take the next step in showing your support today [ [link removed] ]with a
gift of $25 or more. Your contribution will help us fight the attempts to
silence us or sidetrack our work, and help us create a more human, less
hostile world for Black people.

We are deeply grateful for all that you do.

Until Justice Is Real,
