John,
We wanted to bump this important message from our president at Color Of
Change to the top of your inbox.
Last weekend, Donald Trump, the nation’s disgraced former president,
slammed us because of our work to reform our criminal justice system and
ensure that prosecutors hold accountable those who harm our communities.
After hearing Trump’s dog whistles, bullies and hatemongers ambushed us
this week on social media and in cyberspace. Responding in real time
briefly maxed out our work capacity, strained our resources and distracted
us from our mission of dismantling systemic racism in America.
Trump is only going to continue escalating his threats of violence. He
went on a social media tirade last night after midnight to warn of
“potential death & destruction” if the New York prosecutor indicts him.
Our country has seen how his past threats have been carried out by his
supporters. It’s clear that Trump needs to be banned permanently from
social media.
Trump wants his followers to help him silence Color Of Change, and Big
Tech is letting it happen. This week, we were forced to beef up security
and temporarily close our New York and Washington offices after violent
threats, as well as clean up the mud thrown at us and our supporters in
the media. We are determined to keep winning, but we need your help in
this unprecedented moment. [ [link removed] ]John, make a gift of $25 or more
to ensure we have the resources we need to take on the far-right movement
and fuel our fight for justice.

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
your support with a contribution of $25 or more to fuel COC’s campaigns
for justice?

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,
