Our mission is to promote racial justice and equity by challenging systemic racism and acting as a catalyst for antiracist action and learning. With a focus on involving white people in understanding and challenging systemic racism. The mission of Community Change is to promote racial justice and equity by educating, mobilizing, and organizing white people to challenge structural racism. CCI was founded in 1968, born out of the Civil Rights Movement and the Kerner Commission, which named racism "a white problem." CCI exists because the United States has deeply-rooted systems of privilege for white people at the expense of people of color. Interlocking systems of institutional racism are largely invisible to the white community. CCI does what few organizations are willing to do: shine a spotlight on the roots of racism in white culture to deal with racism at its source and with racism's impact on communities of color.
