Roadmap

CONCRETE STEPS TO DRIVE MEANINGFUL CHANGE

Each #ChangeIndustries vertical empowers industry leaders to embark on a Roadmap for change —a path and an opportunity for evolution—that draws from Color Of Change’s deep knowledge and understanding of anti-Black racism in our country to create a nuanced and specific racial justice guide. Each Roadmap contains milestones, KPIs, resources and reporting to guide allies in their commitments to advance racial justice and change the culture.
