Lifting as We Climb. Growing as We Build.

Join Our Community to Make An Impact

An Invitation

Over the past century, we have fought together and won many of the freedoms and equalities that we had long been denied. But the times ahead are just as critical as the decades past.

We are both excited and challenged by the scope of opportunities we will have to make it “bigger and better” for our county and our communities, and we invite you to join us in our journey to make a difference as we take on our call to action! 

In unity we have power. Join us on this journey.

Each and every NAACP member makes a difference to the complex, ongoing work of advancing racial equity. We have driven the hardest-fought wins for civil rights and social justice — with you by our side, we can accelerate the next milestones for Black Americans.

Join this multigenerational network of activists dismantling structural racism by using your power to take action on the most pressing issues of our time.

Testimonials

To me, supporting the NAACP means investing in young minds, strong communities, and a more just future. Their education programs help unlock potential, expand opportunity, and build partnerships for students.

Mary Watts

Sonoma County Office of Education Trustee

NAACP membership matters because it is how everyday people turn their values into lasting change. It is how we protect civil rights, defend voting access, and hold systems accountable. When we join the NAACP, we are not standing alone. We are building the collective power it takes to make justice real in our communities.

Jackie Elward Rohnert
