Since its inception, the strategy and implementation of NAACP programs, has been to ensure a society in which all individuals are treated fairly and are afforded access to opportunity, without regard to race, gender, creed, religion or sexual orientation.  

Together with more than 2 million activists across the country we work 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.

We are committed to a world without racism where Black people enjoy equitable opportunities in thriving communities. Our work is rooted in racial equity, civic engagement, and supportive policies and institutions for all marginalized people.

To make our vision a reality, we will:

Ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of all citizens

Achieve equality of rights and eliminate race prejudice among the citizens of the United States

Remove all barriers of racial discrimination through democratic processes

Seek enactment and enforcement of federal, state, and local laws securing civil rights

Inform the public of the adverse effects of racial discrimination and to seek its elimination

Educate everyone on their constitutional rights and take all lawful action to secure the exercise of those rights, and to take any other lawful action in furtherance of these objectives, consistent with the NAACP's Articles of Incorporation and the NAACP Constitution
