Color of Change exists to strengthen Black America's political voice. Their goal is to empower members - Black Americans and allies - to make government more responsive to the concerns of Black Americans and to bring about positive political and social change for everyone.

National Equal Justice Association (NEJA) has provided timely and strategically critical aid to groupings of people isolated sometimes by geography, but worse by deeply ingrained public and social policies that perpetuate poverty and injustice. NEJA, itself an all-volunteer organization, was formed to aid locally based efforts fighting to end patterns of injustice, particularly those encountered by the most poorly paid workforces of our nation. NEJA works with those who are carving out a definition of equal justice through positive example.

Race Matters Institute works toward a more just and vibrant nation where every child, family and community thrives. For more than a decade we have helped government units, nonprofits, community-based and regional organizations, philanthropies, and state and national networks to become more race-informed and equity-focused in their work.
