Fighting for you
Continuing the Fight for Democracy
The NAACP worked diligently to mobilize voters across the country. From sending 8 million texts to encourage Americans to vote, to recruiting 30,000 volunteers including poll workers and volunteers for relational organizing, we rose to the occasion to prove that our votes matter.
Clean Water for All.
The NAACP calls for a federal civil rights investigation into the State of Mississippi for its years of racially discriminatory neglect and underfunding of Jackson's water systems and to ensure that residents and plaintiffs are centered in the solutions.
A Step Toward True Student Debt Relief
The student loan relief application opened on October 17, 2022, and will be available through June 30, 2023. Apply for up to $20,000 in federal student loan debt for Pell Grant recipients and up to $10,000 for other student loan debt relief.
By failing to pass the legislation, you're passing on your sworn duty to protect the people. We can name all the victims of police violence, but we can't name a single law you have passed to address it. Tell us what you're going to do to honor Tyre Nichols.

Driving Quality of Life through Data
NAACP and Brookings have partnered on The Black Progress Index, a new analysis of the places where Black people are thriving most, as measured through their life expectancy. In the spirit of W.E.B. Du Bois, we're working to provide insight into the local civic actions that can improve life expectancy outcomes.
