Color Of Change PAC Congratulates Rev. Raphael Warnock on Re-Election to U.S. Senate 

Following the hard-fought runoff victory of Raphael Warnock in his reelection bid for U.S. Senate, Color Of Change PAC — the political action committee of the largest online racial justice group — released the below statement from Color Of Change PAC Spokesperson Rashad Robinson

“Sen. Warnock has been a tireless advocate for Black communities in Georgia and nationwide, and his re-election to the Senate is a testament to the organizers, activists, and community members who have been building Black political power across the state for years.

“Even in the face of rampant voter suppression efforts by Governor Brian Kemp and the Republican state legislature, Sen. Warnock ran a fierce campaign that shattered records to turn out millions of progressive voters across Georgia. Sen. Warnock proved that running a campaign based on the issues that matter to Black people – even in a swing state – is a winning formula, and that defending our democracy is not just a platform, but a critical GOTV strategy.

“We’re excited to see Sen. Warnock continue his critical work in the Senate to fight for progressive legislation on issues that matter most to Black communities, such as protecting voting rights, redefining public safety and protecting abortion access.”

After endorsing Rev. Warnock in 2020, Color of Change PAC renewed its support ahead of the 2022 midterms. 

Here are a few of the statistics about Color Of Change PAC’s work to support Sen. Warnock’s re-election:

  • 253,085 direct mail pieces sent to Black voters and members
  • 299,417 voters contacted and engaged
    • 536,729 Text messages
    • 1,571 Phone calls
  • Over 1.3 million digital ad views
  • 3,362,098 emails sent

Since 2016, Color Of Change PAC has mobilized hundreds of thousands of Black voters across the country, endorsing candidates who offer plans to help move Black people forward. One of the first-ever political organizing groups to figure out how to reach and engage Black voters and its members online, Color Of Change PAC ramped up its digital and direct mail tactics ahead of the 2022 election cycle.
