PREAMBLE, OUR VISION & MISSION

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, hereinafter referred to as the “NAACP” or the “Association,” was founded on the beliefs embodied in the Constitution of the United States of America. We support democracy, dignity and freedom. Members of the NAACP, in keeping with the charge of our founders, stand against all forms of injustice. The United States of America, built by us all, belongs to all of us. The repayment for our labor is equity and justice for all. The NAACP will continue to fight for justice until all, without regard to race, gender, creed or religion enjoy equal status.

We envision an inclusive community rooted in liberation where all persons 

can exercise their civil and human rights without discrimination.

Our mission is to achieve equity, political rights, and social inclusion by advancing policies and 

practices that expand human and civil rights, eliminate discrimination, and accelerate the 

well-being, education, and economic security of Black people and all persons of color.
