NAACP relies on the commitment and dedication of our members to help us stand up to racial disparities that are still too prevalent in America. 

Your membership allows you to:

  • Work with activists and organizers in local NAACP branches
  • Organize marches, rallies, and direct action campaigns to bring attention to local issues
  • Support access to quality education, healthcare, economic opportunities
  • Advocate for laws and policies to improve your community
  • Participate in voter registration and get out the vote campaigns
  • Attend national events, regional conferences, and trainings to sharpen your advocacy and leadership skills

The Work of the NAACP is critical to improving our communities. I joined because, just as much as our community needs the NAACP, the association needs each of us to step up and share our time and talents to further the progress of civil rights and social justice.
