</span></i><span style="font-family:"ArialMT",serif;color:black"><a href="https://colorofchange.org/">Color Of Change</a><i> is the nation’s largest online racial justice organization. COC helps people respond effectively to injustice in the world around us,
design campaigns powerful enough to end practices that unfairly hold Black people back and champion solutions that move us all forward. As a national online force driven by 7 million members we move decision-makers in corporations and government to create
a more human and less hostile world for Black people in America.<br>
<br>
<b>Jade Magnus Ogunnaike</b> is the Senior Director of the Media, Culture, and Economic Justice team at Color of Change. Initially starting as a Campaign Manager at COC, she has created and won key campaigns and victories at the organization, including #BlackWomensBrunch:
a field event bringing together thousands of Black women across the country, #DropRKelly: the three year long campaign to get R. Kelly dropped from RCA Records, #QuitTheCouncil: the first campaign to convince a member of Trump’s business council to leave,
and successfully strategized to convince five of largest wedding platforms to no longer feature plantation weddings content. Most recently, Jade led a successful campaign to convince Zoom to hire their first Chief Diversity Officer and created the #BeyondTheStatement
hub: a set of campaigns designed to demand that corporations back up their verbal support of racial justice with a living wage.<br>
<br>
Before Color of Change, Jade worked as a labor organizer at SEIU organizing nursing home workers, home healthcare aides, and adjunct professors. She is a Los Angeles native, Howard University graduate, and founding member of BYP100. In her spare time, she enjoys
design, cooking, spending time with her husband and daughter, Sloane.</i><br>

As part of our seminar series, we have established community guidelines in order to promote educational discussions to disrupt biases and systems of oppression. You may find the BDC Seminar Series: Community Guidelines attached to this email.<br>

If you have any questions, please submit them to the BDC at <a href="mailto:bdcgroup@mit.edu">bdcgroup@mit.edu</a>. We hope you can join us in keeping these important conversations at the forefront of our decisions as we progress towards making the MIT Community
a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive space. Finally, we’d like to thank the School of Science for their support of this endeavor through the Quality of Life Grant.<br>
