Our mission is to achieve equity, political rights, and social inclusion by advancing policies and practices that expand human and civil rights, eliminate discrimination, and accelerate the well-being, education, and economic security of Black people and all persons of color. We envision an inclusive community rooted in liberation where all persons can exercise their civil and human rights without discrimination.
From police brutality to COVID-19 to voter suppression, Black communities are under attack. We work to disrupt inequality, dismantle racism, and accelerate change in key areas including criminal justice, health care, education, climate, and the economy.
Each and every NAACP member makes a difference to the complex, ongoing work of advancing racial equity. We have driven the hardest-fought wins for civil rights and social justice – with you by our side, we can accelerate the next milestones for Black Americans.
Join this multigenerational network of activists dismantling structural racism by using your power to take action on the most pressing issues of our time.
The time is always right,
to do what's right
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
