About ARC

The Applied Research Center (ARC) is a racial justice think tank using media, research, and activism to promote solutions. ARC's mission is to popularize racial justice and prepare people to fight for it, with a goal to change the way society talks about and understands racial inequity. ARC is the publisher of Colorlines.com, a daily news site offering award-winning reporting, analysis, and solutions to today’s racial justice issues. Colorlines.com is produced by a multiracial team of writers whose daily reporting and analysis serves as a leading voice on a broad range of issues including politics, immigration reform, the economy and jobs. Colorlines.com offers readers the opportunity to take action on these issues through its Action channel. 

 

ARC is led by President and Executive Director Rinku Sen. A leading figure in the racial justice movement for the last twenty years, Rinku has positioned ARC as the national home for media, research and activism. She has extensive practical experience on the ground, with expertise in race, feminism, immigration, economic justice, philanthropy and community organizing. Over the course of her career, Rinku has woven together journalism and organizing to further social change.
