How We Fought and Won in 2023
Holding Former President Trump Accountable
Judge Amit Mehta, presiding over Lee vs. Trump, the first civil legal action seeking to hold the former president accountable for his conduct connected to the January 6th insurrection and efforts to overturn the 2020 election, denied Trump the absolute immunity from suit that has always been afforded to presidents in the past for conduct occurring while serving in office.
Increasing Voters Through Mobilization
NAACP was on the ground in key battleground states and deployed lawyers throughout the nation to monitor and respond to reports of voter suppression through their Voter Protection Hub, ensuring that every American was provided an opportunity to cast their ballot.
Protecting Democracy in Alabama
The NAACP Alabama State Conference were plaintiffs in the June Supreme Court case against Alabama where they rightfully argued that the state's congressional map was a clear attempt to minimize the voting power of the state's Black residents. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of drawing a new Alabama congressional map which will allow for greater representation of Black voters in the state.
Putting Black America First
The future of our democracy lies in America's forgotten corners. That's why the NAACP is working hard to recruit 300K volunteers across the country ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

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.
