description
The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) is a U.S.-based civil rights organization that advocates for the civil, political, economic and social rights of Black Americans. It organizes and mobilizes communities, runs public campaigns, provides resources and training (for example on redistricting and voter engagement), and conducts voter registration and turnout activities to protect and expand Black voting power. The organization pursues policy change and public advocacy at federal, state and local levels and brings legal challenges and litigation to defend civil rights and combat discrimination. NAACP also convenes events, produces educational materials, maintains membership networks of activists, and advances initiatives on racial equity across areas such as education, healthcare and economic opportunity.
