Tell RCA Records to drop sexual predator, R. Kelly now!

We trust Black women and girls. There's over 20 years of sexual abuse allegations against R. Kelly and enough is enough! It's #TimesUp for R.Kelly and his enablers, which is why were demanding RCA Records #MuteRKelly and finally drop him from their label.

Why is this important?

For over two decades, Robert Kelly has been a predator. R. Kelly has sexually, emotionally, and mentally abused young Black girls and has gotten away scot-free while RCA, Kelly’s record label, continues to benefit from his tours, album sales and songs which glorify his abuse and assault of young Black women. All that needs to come to an end. Demand RCA drop R. Kelly from their label.

Ava DuVernay, John Legend, Questlove, and Lupita Nyong'o are just some of the people who have come out to publicly support the #MuteRKelly campaign and we’re asking you to join them. Black girls matter. Their lives matter, their health matters, their stories matter. Color of Change strives to create a world where Black women and girls are supported, encouraged, and most of all, believed.

Studies show that as many as 60% of Black women are sexually abused by 18, and it’s because of a culture of normalizing and excusing the predatory actions of men like Kelly and companies like RCA who enable him.
