The time is now. By becoming a member of NAACP, you'll join a network of activists standing up to injustice, fighting back against systemic racism, and answering the call for equality.

Thrive With Us

It's one thing to succeed as a community - it's another thing to thrive.

Take your advocacy one step further. As a member of the NAACP, you're making it your personal goal to ensure that our community thrives in every aspect including education, economics, health and wellbeing, and racial justice. Thriving in the NAACP looks like:

  • Providing scholarships for students, grants for Black entrepreneurs, and much-needed resources when disaster hits
  • Fueling local volunteers who drive culture and change in communities across the country
  • Amplifying the voice of Black America to make sure solutions to our most pressing issues are equitable
  • Working with activists and organizers in local NAACP branches
  • Organizing marches, rallies, and direct action campaigns to bring attention to local issues
  • Supporting access to quality education, healthcare, economic opportunities
  • Participating in voter registration and get-out-the-vote campaigns
  • Attending 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.
